Nat. Sc. Phila. II. 1821, p. 3; Regan, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1913, p. loio. This genus is very closely related to Pcecilia, from which it differs in having an obtuse downward point at the end of the first prolonged ray of the anal and another segment, directed dorsally, as in Lebistes at the tip of the fourth prolonged ray. The chief difference between PcBcilia and Mollienisia is the longer dorsal in the latter. Pcecilia, Mollienisia, and Lebistes might be considered members of the single comprehensive genus, Pa' Fig. 15. Mollienisia laiipinna Le Sueur. Distal end of anal of male. X —. I No. 9201, I. U. M. Baldwin Lodge, Mississippi. The anal of the male is shorter than the head and slightly more than one-fifth of the total length. The ventrals are set close to the anal; the second ray, or the ray next the outer one, is prolonged into a club- shaped filament, which is almost as long as the anal and extends to or beyond the middle of that organ. The ventral part of the tip of the fin has a prepuce or dermal hood as in Pcecilia and Lebistes.
