Fig. 23.—Rostral variation with age of Naso tapeinosoma (Bleeker) caudal emarginate or lunate, with age upper lobe produced in moder- ate filament, 2% to 33^ in combined head and body; least depth of caudal peduncle 5 to 5}^ in head; pectoral \% to 1%; ventral 1^ to 23^; caudal peduncle with 2 bony bucklers, each with broad keel, anterior larger or 53^ to 5%. Largely uniform brown. Iris light brown. Soft dorsal and anal each with 3 longitudinal blackish-brown bands, rest of fins together with spinous fins dull brown; edges of soft dorsal and anal narrowly whitish.
