Day figures a very different fish as U. sulphureus?°+ 
as it shows the maxillary nearly reaching eye center, and 
the eye almost long as snout. ‘4ts barbels reach only far 
back as hind preopercle edge and cheek scales in only @ 
rows. Coloration greatly different, in that spinous dor- 
sal with black end and otherwise pale with wide darker 
transverse band, Opercle dark above and both soft dorsal 
and anal with median longitudinal dark band, oblique and 
not horizontal. Day says barbels reach hind orbital edge 
in the young and nearly to preopercle angle in adult. They 
are figured as curved and as no mention is otherwise made 
it may be inferred that they were rather flexible. On the 
contrary Sauvage shows them very straight, suggesting they 
were firm or rigid. Day describes the first dorsal as 
milk-white edged with black, having 2 horizontal yellow lines 
finely dotted with black, ‘the second dorsal is also noted 
with only one band. Further he notes some specimens with the 
caudal banded much as in U. vittatus but bands fewer and paler; 
1+ is evident, upon comparing his description of U. Basciolatus , 
thet he has figured the same. in this connection Bleeker places 
U. fasctatus with a query in his synonymy of Upeneus uoluccedein
