MAURITIAN HETERELEOTRIS 93 reducing to 1 or 2 rows posteriorly, the teeth of outer row largest and caniniform; inner row of teeth across front of premaxilla slightly curved and enlarged; dentary with 3 or 4 irregular rows of conical teeth anteriorly, reducing to a single row posteriorly, the outer row of teeth largest and caniniform; inner row of teeth across front of dentary slightly curved and enlarged; palatine and vomer edentate; tongue edentate and weakly rounded to truncate, sometimes with weak indentation anteriorly. Cephalic sensory pores (see Fig. 2): posterior nasal 1/1; anterior interorbital 1; posterior interorbital 1; infraorbital 1/1; postorbital 1/ 1; lateral canal 0/0; terminal lateral canal 1/1. Distribution of super- ficial neuromasts (cutaneous papillae) on head as shown in Fig. 2. Male urogenital papilla pointed posteriorly, with inconpicuous lobe on either side of narrow gonopore. the posterior edge of papilla papillose; female urogenital papilla subrectangular, truncate, with weak lobe on each side of wide gonopore, the gonopore rim papil- lose. Epaxial musculature extending anteriorly to posterior interorbital pore. As percentages of SL: head length (); eye diameter (); head width at posterior preopercular margin (); head depth at posterior preopercular margin (— ); body depth at pelvic-fin origin (); body depth at anal-fin origin (); caudal peduncle depth (); caudal peduncle length (); predorsal length (); prepelvic length (); preanal length (); distance between first and second dorsal- fin origins (); second dorsal-fin base length (); third dorsal-fin spine length (1 ); third from last segmented dorsal-fin ray length (); anal-fin base length (); third from last segmented ana
