GENUS RHOMBOPLITES GILL This genus differs from Littiatius chiefly in cranial characters andin the extension of the villiform teeth over the pterygoid and hyoidbones. The form of the patch of vomerine teeth is also somewhatpeculiar. The genus contains but a single species, R. aiirorubens, thecagon de lo alto of our Spanish fishermen. It is found from RioJaneiro northward through the West Indies to the Carolina coast.
