the head, or as measured at the middle in the length of the eye• The 4 
brown bars on the upper edge of the eye are also still quite distinct. 
The ventral rays are not fringed as in most species of Eviota. Also the 
scales are somewhat reduced and crowded directly behind the eyes, not 
shown in Jordan and Seale*s figure. 
Eviota macrophthalmus is said to be distinguished "by the absence 
of scales on the occiput and some other characters", though as it was based 
on an example but 12 mm. long the occipital scales may not have been 
developed.
