Enantioliparis antardica Gill, 1891, p. 365. Type.—No. 12972, M. C. Z. Eden Harbor. Hassler Expedition, 1872. Length 32 mm. Distribution.—Known only from the type locality, Eden Harbor, South America. Relationships.—L. antardica is widely divergent from any of the northern species. The distinctive characters are the small number of fin rays and coeca and the unnotched pectoral fin. L. antardica and L. liparis have the least pyloric coeca of any of the species of Liparis. In the character of the unnotched pectoral fin L. antardica agrees with L. tanalcae and L. owstoni of Japan. Description oj type.—Dorsal 28; pyloric coeca 10; depth in length without caudal; head Eye 4 in the head; disk Gar- man (1892) records the anal as with 24 and the pectoral with 30 rays. Body short and heavy as in L. callyodon. Head deep; depth about equal to the width; occiput swollen as in the young of L. dennyi; cheeks slightly swollen. Mouth terminal with little lateral cleft; maxillary reaching be- neath the front of the pupil. Teeth stout, strongly trilobed, in broad bands, arranged in oblique rows. Snout abrupt, not projecting, lower jaw included. An- terior nostril in a short tube; posterior nostril without tube. Eye black. Gill slit above the pectoral. No pricldes. Pyloric coeca in a single row, about 10. figure h- Dorsal apparently without a notch. Caudal broad, arctic a'. connected for nearly one-half its length to the anal. toothfrom TYPE Pectoral somewhat mutilated, apparently unnotched, possiblj" as figured. Disk large, round; snout to disk 8 in the length without caudal. Vent close to the disk. Color pale, brown to slate; peritoneum pale. Synopsis.—Dorsal 28; anal 24?; pectoral 30?; pyloric coeca 30. Disk in head. Gill slit above the pectoral fin. D
