llangc : — From the East Coast of Oneeiislaiid northward to tlie Caroline 
Group and eastward to the Painnotn Arc]ii])ehi^'o. 
Cuvier and Valenciennes first gave a [ilaee in literature to this species 
from drawings by i\Iertens and l^arkinson. tlie former’s subject having been 
taken at Ulea (rilie Jsland)y one of tlie Cai’olines, th(‘ iatter’s at Tahiti in the 
Society Group, but the descriptions (if sm*h they can ealled) taken from 
these sources, under the names //. //c/ris\vha as aiul //. /a/re/a, v, are valueless, and 
might very well havt* Iieen disregai’ded. The s])(^eies does not ap]>ear to have 
been noticed again until 1860, in which year Gunther (1), as fl. cyanolis, gave 
the first recognizable desci'i])tion from a specimen colleet(al by iMacgillivray at 
Aneiteum, Xew Hebrides. Within the next decade it receivi‘d two new names 
from Kner and Peters respectively, the former describing a young exam])le from 
Raiatea. Society Group, as 77. nwnophfhahnu.^, the latter somewhat vaguely from 
the ^^Soutli Seas’’ as 77. ocvJarisj while Xrun* in the same year reported his fish 
from Savai, Samoa. Some years later Gunther (2) added the Paumotu Archi- 
pelago, Hervey and Kingsmill Islands, and the Fiji Group to the known locali- 
ties, and at a still later date de Vis gav(^ it yet another name, describing it 
from the Queensland Coast as 77. sphut.r. Einally Jordan and Seale recorded it 
as being ^Hather common about the coral reefs of Samoa,” but were unable to 
add any further localities to its distribution. 
Dimensions : — A small species, not exceeding 100 millim. in total length. 
Bemarhs : — Described from one of the Queensland specimens, measuring 
81 millim., and in but moderate condition. The other example has been ruined 
by bad mounting. This pretty little species is easily separable from the other 
Queensland pomaeanthins by its symmetrical head and holocentriform habit.
