101. PRONOTOGRAMMUS PERUANUS. 
Anthias (Hemianthias) pcrtianiis Steiudachner, Ichth. Beitriige, I, 1874, 4 (Payta; Trujillo). 
Habitat. — Coast of Peru and Chili. 
Etymology. — Peruanus, Peruvian. 
Of this species we have examined two of Dr. Stein dachner’s original types (10232, 
M. C. Z.), from Payta, Peru. The largest of these is 15 inches in length and is now in 
poor condition. A specimen which we suppose to belong to the same species is also 
in the U. S. National Museum from Chili. This species reaches a larger size than the 
others of our Anthiinw. It must be a very handsome fish in life. 
102. PRONOTOGRAMMUS VIVANUS. 
Anthias vivanus Jordan & Swain, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 544, 1884 (Pensacola) ; Jordan, Cat. Fish. N. 
Am., 83, 1885. 
Habitat. — West Indian fauna, north to Pensacola. 
Etymology. —From the Red Snapper or Vivanet, from the stomach of which this 
species was first taken. 
All the known specimens of this brilliantly colored species have been taken off 
tlie Snapper Banks between Pensacola and Tampa. Nearly all of them have come 
from the spewings of the speckled “ Hind,” Epinephelus drummond-hayi. 
103. PRONOTOGRAMMUS EOS. 
Anthias eos Gilbert, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 1890 (Station 2996). 
Habitat. — Pacific coast of tropical America. 
Etymology.— ' sunrise. 
This species is known from several examples dredged by the Albatross at Station 
2996, off the west coast of Mexico. 
104. PRONOTOGRAMMUS MULTIFASCIATUS. 
P ronotogrammus nmltifasciatus Gill, Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Phil., 81, 1863 (Cape San Lucas). 
Anthias multifasciatus Jordan & Gilbert, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 360, 1882 (Cape San Lucas); Jordan, 
Cat. Fish. N. Am., 83, 1885; Jordan, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 377, 1885 (Cape San Lucas). 
Habitat. — Pacific coast of Mexico. 
Etymology. — Blultus, many; fasciatus, banded. 
This species is known only from the original type, a very young example taken 
at Cape San Lucas by Mr. John Xantus.
