Figure 89.—Holotype of Centropyge nigriocellus, new species ( No. 141312), from Johnston Island. (Drawing by Aime M. Awl.) and a second spot of similar size, outlined by a narrow white ring on base of posterior soft dorsal rays; dorsal, caudal, and anal light dusky brown; pelvics pale, white; pectorals pale, transparent, with a thin black line along upper edge of unbranched rays. Remarks.—This species is apparently most closely related to Cen- tropyge bispinosiis (Giinther), 0. multispinis Playfair, and G. fisheri Snyder, but it differs from these as well as from all other species of butterflyfishes in coloration and in the low number of dorsal and anal fin rays.
