Gill's (1884) genus Chondroplites, is cer- tainly the most primitive species in Pompus.

The trivial name is commonly written incorrectly sinensis. Pampiis argenteus (Euphrasen, 1788) = Stromateus argenteus Euphrasen. Iranian Gulf to Japan, type locality "Castellum Chinense Bocca ; D V-X 38^3. A V-VII 34-43. P 24-27. Vertebrae 14-16 + 20-25. Falcate median fins, preceded by flat bicuspid spines, are characteristic of this species (Fig. 45). The species is ap- parently very wide ranging. Further study will no doubt show it to be composed of numerous subspecies or even species. This fish is the "pomfret" of Eastern fisheries literature, and is important commercially in India, China, and Japan. Probable syn- onyms are: Stromateus cinereus Bloch, 1793; Stromateus candidus Cuvier and Valenciennes, 1833, from Pondichery; Stro- mateus securifer Cuvier and Valenciennes, 1833, from Bombay; Stromateus griseus Cuvier and Valenciennes, 1833, from Pondi- chery; Stromateus punetatissimus Temminck and Schlegel, 1850, from Japan; and Pampus simoprosopus Fowler, 1934b, from Siam. Pampus echinogaster (Basilewsky, 1855) = Stromateus echinogaster Basilewsky. China, Korea, and Japan, tvpe locality China. D VIII-X 42-49. A V-VII 42-47. P 24-25. Vertebrae 14-15 + 24-26. This species has more median finrays than P. argenteus. Abe and Kosakai (1964) report that P. echinogaster has fewer, thicker pyloric caeca than P. arg
