. Bulletin - United States National Museum. Science. blenniidae: salariinae—schxjltz and chapman 365 Remarks.—This species, as indicated in the generic diagnosis, is distinguished from all other Salariinae by its low number of soft rays in dorsal and anal fins, in conjunction with the absence of vomer- ine teeth and of a row of cirri across the nape. No other species in the Salariinae, has so few soft rays, except in Cirripectes, and all members of that genus have a row of cirri across the nape. Named minutus because the adults of this species are the smallest salariian blenny yet discovered.

Interorbital space narrow, 3 times in snout and twice in eye. F. minutus, new species 16. Interorbital space broad, longer than snout and about equal to eye diameter F. wellsi, new species.
