It is of interest to notethat the epipleural is attached tothe eleventh vertebra directly inline with the vertebra immediately Cranium of Loptiolatilus, superior aspect. preceding it. The scapular arch presents no peculiarities in any of the fishes in question, andthat of Loplwlatilus may be taken as typical of all. This has a post-temporal of theusual modified V-pattern, articulating with a simple postero-temporal which in turnjoins the proscapula. The post-clavicle is formed of two bones; the actinosts arefour in number, gradually increasing in length from above downward, the lowermostbeing moderately long. In cranial characters the genera Lalilux, Lopholatilus, ami Caulolatilus agreewith each other and differ from Malacanthus in having the skull moderately elevated.
