106. ODONTANTHIAS MARTINICENSIS. 
Aylopon martivicensis Guichenot, Anthiani, Ann. Linn. Soc., vol. X, 1868 (Martiniqne). 
Habitat . — West Indian fauna. 
Etymology. — Martinicensis. living in Martinique. 
This species is known to us only from the original type, examined by Dr. Jordan in 
the museum at Paris. 
107. ODONTANTHIAS ASPERILINGUIS. 
Anthias asperiling ins Giiuther, Cat. Fiah. Brit. Mus., I, 89, 1859 (South America). 
Habitat. — “ South America.” 
Etymology. — Asper, rough ; lingua^ tongue. 
We know this species from the original description only. In the form of its dorsal 
it appears to differ widely from Odontanthias martinicensis, but its dentition is that 
of an Odontanthias. In the type of Odontanthias the third dorsal spine is produced. 
108. ODONTANTHIAS (?) TONSOR. 
Sei'ranus loiisor Cuv. & Val., Hist. Nat. Poiss., II, 262, 1828 (Brazil). 
Anthias tonsor Giinther, I, 91, (copied). 
Habitat. — Coast of Brazil. 
Etymology. — Tonsor, a barber ; from barbier, the French name for Anthias. 
The scanty description of this species gives no hint as to whether it belongs to 
Odontanthias or to Anthias. For the present we refer it, with the other American 
species, to the former. If it be an Anthias, it should be distinguished from A. anthias 
by the fewer fin-rays, D. X, 12. 
The type of this species seems to have been lost. Mr. Alexandre Thominot, assist- 
ant in the museum at Paris, has searched in vain for it, and it is not mentioned in 
Guichenot’s paper on the species of Anthias in the museum. 
Genus XXVI.— BATHYANTHIAS. 
Bathyanthias Giinther, Shore-hshes Challenger Exp., 1880, 6 {roseus). 
Type.— Bathyanthias roseus Gunther. 
Etymology . — Bdffbq, deep (water) ; Anthias, an allied genus. 
This genus is based on a single specimen, a small fish allied to Pronotogrammus, 
but with none of its fin-rays produced. The operculum is said to be without spine, a 
character rarely found among the Serranidm.
