90. SERRANUS PSITTACINUS. 
Prionodes fasciatus Jenyns, Voy. Beagle, Fishes, 46, 1840; Giinther, Cat. Fish. Brit. Mus., I, 96, 1859, 
(Chatham Island, Galapagos) (not Holocentriis faaciatua Bloch, which is Serranus scriba) ; Jor- 
dan, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 1889, 81 (Charles, Hood, and Albemarle Islands, Galapagos). 
Serranus psittacinus Valenciennes, Voyage V6nns, Poiss., 290, pi. I, f. 1, 1855 (Galapagos Islands). 
Centropristia psittacinu a Giinther, I, 186 (copied). 
Serranus calopteryx Jordan & Gilbert, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 338, 1881 (name only) ; Jordan & Gilbert, 
Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 350, 1881 (Mazatlau) ; Jordan & Gilbert, Bull. U. S. Fish Com., 170, 
1882 (Mazatlan); Jordan, Cat. Fish. N. Am., 83, 1885; Jordan, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 376, 
1885 (Pearl Islands; Galapagos). 
Habitat . — Panama fauna. Cape San Lucas to Galapagos Islands. 
Etymology. — Psittacus, a parrot. 
We have examined specimens of this species from Mazatlan, Pearl Islands (Pan- 
ama), La Paz, and from Charles, Hood, Albemarle, and Indefatigable Islands, of the 
Galapagos. The specimens from La Paz and Indefatigable are in the museum at Cam- 
bridge. Numerous specimens were also taken by Dr. Gilbert at the Eevillagigedos. 
The earliest specific name of this species, fasciatus, can not be used if the 
species be referred to Serranus, as already more than one Serranus has been called 
fasciatus. The oldest tenable specific name is th&veioYQ psittacinus. The genus Pn- 
onodes was supposed by Jenyns to differ from Serranus by the absence of vomerine 
and palatine teeth. These teeth are, as a matter of fact, well developed in the 
young, but in some old specimens they are small, partly covered by the skin, and pos- 
sibly even deciduous.
