WEST AFRICA 19 According to Koumans' synopsis of the genera of Gobiinae (1931) this species must be placed either in Oxyiirichthys or in Acentrogobiiis.^ It resembles certain species of Oxyiirichthys, especially in the large mouth, number of dorsal and anal rays, pointed caudal, etc., but differs in the form of the dentition. It fits much better into Acentro- gobitis, as defined by Koumans, and the diagnosis of that genus may be amended for its reception. It appears to be related to A. schlegeli

It appears to be related to A. schlegeli (Giinther), from which it may be readily distinguished by the different dentition, the larger eye, and the greater number of dorsal and anal rays.
