Abstract
Analysis of characteristics of 11 Atlantic and 54 Pacific specimens of Fodiator acutus showed that the two subspecies F. a. acutus and F. a. pacificus could not be distinguished on the basis of the original diagnosis, but that such distinction could be made on the basis of the eye and the snout expressed as a percentage of head length. It was also shown that F. a. pacificus Bruun and Hemiexocoetus caudimaculatus Fowler are synonyms of Fodiator acutus rostratus (Günther).
