Serranus rivulatus Poey, Memorias Cuba, II, 1860, 135 (Havana). 
Habitat. — West Indian fauna. 
Etymology. — Tigris., tiger. 
Several specimens in the museum at Cambridge, sent from Havana by Poey, agree 
perfectly with the type of Trisotropis reticulatus. These prove, on closer study, to be 
specimens of the M. tigris, from which the dark cross-bands have faded. There seems 
no reason whatever for doubting the identity of E. reticulatus with E. tigris. 
A specimen of this species is in the museum at Cambridge from Maranhao. 
Another from Cuba is labeled as the type of Serranus felinus Poey.
