Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Contributions to the Biology of the Philippine Archipelago and Adjacent Regions, Vol. 8 The spiny rayed fishes of the series Capriformes, Ephippiformes, and Squamipennes, as limited by Jordan, form the subject of this volume, which is the second devoted to the report on the fishes collected during the cruise of the United States Bureau of Fisheries steamer Albatross in Philippine seas and adjacent waters in 1907-1910. The first report, embracing the families Pomacentridae, Labridae, and Callyodontidae formed volume 7 of the present bulletin. Under the Capriformes we unite the Antigonidae with the Caproidae, to include Capros and Antigonia. Though suggestive of the Zeidae they differ in the ventrals having one spine and five soft rays. Like the Squamipennes, both have the post-temporal solidly united with the skull. Both the Capriformes and the Zeidae differ from the Squamipennes in the gill membranes free from the isthmus. The Ephippiformes include the Scorpidae, Monodactylidae, Platacidae, and Ephippidae, as we merge the Drepanidae with the last. They differ from both the Capriformes and the Squamipennes, likewise the Zeidae, in the post-temporal not joined solidly with the skull. They agree with the Squamipennes especially in their densely scaled bodies and fins and the lateral restriction of the gill openings. The Squamipennes include the Toxotidae, Scatophagidae, Chaetodontidae, Zanclidae, Hepatidae, and Siganidae. Though these groups have all been more or less loosely used, we have preferred simply to accept them without further detailed definition.
