Color olive-green, finely punctulate everywliere; sides with about eleven parallel vertical bauds of dark olive, about equal in width, nar- rower than the eye, the bands about as wide as the pale interspaces. A roundish black spot, nearly as large as the eye, under the beginning /the spinous dorsal, just above the axis of the body, as in many South American Gichlidas; soft fins faintly barred; cheeks and under parts of head profusely speckled with fine black dots, as in Aphododcrus cooli- ianus. Length of each of the three specimens known just one inch. It probably grows to a somewhat larger size, but the fact that it has thus far apparently been overlooked by collectors, leads me to think that its maximum dimensions are quite small.

Reynolds; two specimens. liio Brazos, Texas, a single specimen noticed in a bottle of Sunlishes in the United States National Museum, without other label than that of the locality. This species f^iema to bear little relation to any of the genera of Ckhlidw described from South America by Dr. Giinther or Pfofessor Cope. 1 therefore propose to consider it as forming a distinct sub- family, and leave the matter of its relationships for future investigation. â â¢*>>'tP'\ â |> »â ;;;â ArnODODERIDil^]. 35.
