JORDAN, M. D. A portion of the collection of fishes from the Rio Grande noticed on pp. 395-406 of this Bulletin were accidentally separated from the rest, and escaped attention until the preceding pages had gone to press. this lot are the following additional species: Genus XENOTIS Jordan. XENOTIS BREVICEPS (Baird & Girard) Jordan. 1853-Pomotis breviceps B. & G., Proc. Ac. Nat. Sc. Phila. p. 390. Pomotis breviceps B. &. G., Marcy's Expl. Red River, Zool. p. 246, pl. 13, 1853. Ichthelis breviceps JORDAN & COPELAND, Check List Fishes N. A. p. 138, 1876. 1854-Pomotis nefastus B. & G., Proc. Ac. Nat. Sc. Phila. p. 24 (not Pomotis aquilensis B. & G.). 1858-Pomotis popei GIRARD, Pac. R. R. Expl. Fishes, p. 26. Xenotis popii JORDAN, Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus. x, p. 36, 1877. A single half-grown specimen, agreeing well with the descriptions of nefastus and popii, but not distinguishable by me from X. breviceps, which species seems to be generally distributed in Texas. The specimens in the National Museum labelled (by Dr. Girard?) Pomotis aquilensis include two species, the one a Xenotis, and probably identical with Xenotis breviceps, the other a Lepiopomus, probably identical with Lepiopomus pallidus. The original aquilensis belonged to the latter type, so the name may be provisionally treated as a probable synonym of pallidus. The other specimens are probably those originally called nefastus, and seem to be referable to Xenotis breviceps. X. breviceps is closely related to X. fallax, but appears to be distinct. Genus PECILICHTHYS Agassiz. (Astalichthys Le Vaillant; Oligocephalus Girard.) PŒCILICHTHYS LEPIDUS (Baird & Girard) Girard. 1853-Boleosoma lepida B. & G., Proc. Ac. Nat. Sc. Phila. p. 388. Pacilichthys lepidus GIRARD, Mex. Bound. Surv. Ich. p. 11, pl. 8, f. 14-17, 1859. *[From p. 406, anteà.—ED.] |
