The holotype of this species, described in the first instance by Volta, and within recent years by Dr. Otto Jaekel and the present writer, forms part of the Gazzola Collection in the Paris Museum of Natural History. Another specimen, slightly smaller than the type, is preserved in the Museum of the University of Padua, and a third, more complete than either of these two, belongs to the Capellini Museum at the University of Bologna. Exquisite reproductions of this and two other im- portant specimens of fishes from Monte Bolca were presented to the Carnegie Museum in 1909 by Senator Giovanni Capellini.
