Sargocentron tiere (Cuvier in C and V, 1829).
ANSP 102854. Randall 1998a, Myers 1999.
Family Sygnathidae
(Pipefishes and Seahorses)
Corythoichthys fiavofasciatus (Ruppell, 1838).
BPBM 3775 (T), BPBM 37884 (K&L).
Myers 1999.
Corythoichthys conspicillatus (Jenyns).
Fowler and Ball 1925.
doryrhampus excisus Kaup, 1856. Myers 1999.
Family Aulostomidae (Trumpetfishes)
Aulostomus chinensis (Linnaeus, 1766). Fowler
and Ball 1925. Although A. chinensis is
listed in Fowler and Ball (1925), we did not
observe any. Apparently the only Fowler
and Ball specimen ofA. chinensis to survive
to the 1960s was from Lisianski Island.
This specimen was discarded by BPBM in
1968. Thus this record from Wake Atoll is
doubtful.
Family Fistulariidae (Cornetfishes)
*Fistularia commersonii Ruppell, 1838. Photo-
graphic record.
Family Scorpaenidae (Scorpionfishes)
Pterois antennata (Bloch, 1787). BPBM 15280
(G&R). Myers 1999.
*Scorpaenodes guamensis (Quoy & Gaimard,
1824). CAS 150161.
Sebastapistes ballieui (Sauvage in Vaillant and
Sauvage, 1875). BPBM 4365. Identified as
Sebastapistes asperella (Bennett) in Fowler
and Ball 1925, a species with inadequate
description and no type specimen (Esch-
meyer and Randall 1975). The BPBM lot
contains two specimens, one S. ballieui and
one S. cyanostigma; however, the locality
of this lot was incorrectly listed as Wake
(J. Randall, pers. comm.). This species is
not included in the species count.
Sebastapistes coniorta Jenkins, 1903. Randall
1996, Myers 1999.
*Sebastapistes fowleri (Pietschmann, 1934).
BPBM 38593 (K&L).
*Sepastapistes mauritiana (Cuvier, 1829). BPBM
12043 (K), BPBM 13804 (G&R).
*Sebastapistes tinkhami (Fowler, 1946). MCZ
158370.
