Abstract/Description
-
Five eastern Pacific species of the genus Haemulon Cuvier are described, their color pattern and dentition illustrated, and a key presented for their identification. Lythrulon Jordan and Swain and Orthostoechus Gill are synonymized with Haemulon. Haemulon scudderi Gill, Haemulon sexfasciatum Gill, Haemulon flavigattatum Gill, and Haemulon maculicauda (Gill) are found exclusively in the Pacific while Haemulon steindachneri (Jordan and Gilbert) is found both in the Atlantic and the Pacific.

Abstract/Description
-
A study was made of selected species of the genus Haemulon to evaluate the use of lepidology as a taxonomic tool for classifying fishes. The data generated underscored certain phylogenetic trends although species differences were ill-defined. A statistical technique was employed using a ctenius length-width ratio analysis. The statistical inference that Haemulon chrysargyreum and H. striatum may occupy a single infrageneric group supports previously established evidence in this regard.
