Figure 22.— Trimma eviotofs, new species: Holotype ( No. 116169), mm. in standard length. interorbital space; head naked, no scales in front of dorsal fin, no scales on breasts. Color pale, with eight vertical bars clorsally, the first under middle of eye, very short; the second a saddle from top of head past rear margin of eyes ending at lower margin of cheeks; the third a short saddle niidwa}^ from eyes to origin of first dorsal ending at upper edge of opercle; fourtli at origin of spiny dorsal across pectoral base ending at base of lowest ray; fifth under middle of s})!ny dorsal; sixth at origin of second dorsal ending at origin of anal; seventh near rear of base of soft dorsal, and eighth a round blotch posteriorly on dorsal part of caudal peduncle. Remarks.—This eleotrid is intermediate between Trimnui and Eviota.^ having the pelvic fins of Eviota but the gill membranes like Trimma. It differs from all other species in the genera Eviota and Trimma in its color pattern of eight blackish bars or saddles on head and body. The interorbital space
