Figure 12.—Amblycirrhitus hubhardi, new species: Holotype ( No. 115750), 35 mm. in standard length. Counts made on the types: Dorsal rays X, 14 (X, 14; X, 14) ; anal rays III, 6 (III, 6; III, 6); number of scale rows crossing the lateral line 51 (51; 51); scales between lateral line and base of last dorsal spine 4 (4; 4); scales between lateral line and base of first anal spine 10 (10; 10) ; number of teeth on preopercular edge 12 or 13 (about 14; 16 or 17); number of scale rows on cheek 5 (5; 5); number of gill rakers on first gill arch (5+1 + 12; 5 + 1 + 12); pectoral fin for- mula ii + 6 + vi R, ii + 6 vi L (ii + 6 + vi R, ii + 6 + vi L; ii + 6 + vi R, ii + 6 + vi L). Teeth on vomer and head of palatines villiform; a few small canines near front and sides of both jaws anteriorly, becoming villiforjn and in a narrow to a single row posteriorly; posterior edge of preopercle dorsally with small serrae, the lower edge smooth; scales cycloid; rear margin of caudal fin a little concave; second anal spine longest, third longer than first; lower pectoral rays simple, exserted,
