. Bulletin - United States National Museum. Science. Addenda While the page proof of this bulletin was being indexed, a small collection of parrotfishes was received from Dr. H. Steinitz, The Hebrew University, Jerusalem. For his cooperation I am grateful. Whenever new material becomes available for study, new informa- tion is discovered that is likely to alter conclusions. Among the Steinitz collection were two species of parrotfishes, not previously seen by me. One, represented by two specimens, I identify as Scarus madagascarensis on the basis of color pattern and other char- acters. An examination of the pharyngeal mill of one of the speci- mens definitely indicated that it did not belong in the genus Scarops, even though the color pattern was somewhat similar to that of Scarops rubroviolaceous. The other species, Scarus bipallidus, is described and figured Figure 31.—Scarus bipallidus (Smith), from three specimens collected by Dr. Steinitz in the Red Sea. (Drawing by Mrs. Patricia Isham.) Scarus bipallidus (Smith) Figure 31 Callyodon bipallidus J. L. B. Smith, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 12, vol. 8, p. 936, December 1955 (type locality: western Indian Ocean). Xanothon bipallidus J. L. B. Smith, Rhodes Univ. Ichthy. Bull. No. 1, p. 5, pi. 41,D, 1956 (type locality: Pinda, South Africa). This species is characterized by having 4 median predorsal scales, 2 rows of scales on the cheek, pectoral rays ii,13, green teeth in adult (immature not seen); in alcohol a pale caudal peduncle and caudal 131.
