Type Pristipoma bennetti Lowe. i6. Dacymba bennetti (Lowe). (Plate XLVII.) No. 80140, C. M. Head two and four-fifths times in length; depth three times in length; eye three and two-fifths times in head; fourth dorsal spine two and one-half times in length of head; gill-rakers 6 + 15, the longest three times in eye. D. XI, I, 16; A. Ill, 11. Scales with pores fifty- two; pre-orbital narrow, six and one-half times in head. Lower side of head with highly developed muciferous channels, especially on lower jaw, where they are separated by cross-ridges. Maxillary extending to just beyond front of eye. Anterior teeth in upper jaw. Fig. I. Dacymba bennetti {Lowe). Lower side of head. Nat. size. CM. Catalog Fishes, No. 8014a. moderately enlarged. Pre-opercle strongly serrate. Pectoral long, one and one-third times in head. Scales above lateral line in series parallel with the lateral line. Tip of lower jaw with three pores, the middle one largest. Dorsal and anal fins low, long, scaleless, running in a scaly groove. Dorsal fin deeply divided, the spines slender; second anal spine two and two-third times in head, the third spine absent in our specimen, probably due to abnormal variation, as all the rest of this family have three anal spines. Color brownish, speckled; a large black spot at angle of opercle, probably disappearing with age. One young specimen, about 60 mm. long to caudal base,.
