WILLIAMS: CHASMODES TAXONOMY


quianus from waters north of Chesapeake Bay, Maryland: three from
Delaware, one from New Jersey, and one from New York. The last is the
northernmost record. All likely are stragglers to these areas, as they were
collected either in late summer or early fall, which would have allowed
sufficient time at sufficiently high temperature for migration or passive
larval transport to these northern waters. C. b. bosquianus is primarily
distributed from Chesapeake Bay, Maryland, south to Marineland, Flor-
ida. I have identified, as C. b. bosquianus, one specimen from a series of C.
saburrae (USNM 48783) from Indian River, Florida. If this specimen was
not erroneously mixed with this lot (collection date: 14 January 1896), it is
the only record of sympatric occurrence of C. b. bosquianus with C.
saburrae, and is the only record of C. b. bosquianus south of Marineland,
Florida.

 Chasmodes bosquianus longimaxilla NEW SUBSPECIES
 FIGURE 6
 DIAGNOSIs.-Chasmodes bosquianus longimaxilla differs from C. b.
bosquianus and C. saburrae in having 0-1 (range 0-5) total small upper
pharyngeal teeth in most specimens over 40 mm SL (2-5 in specimens under
40 mm SL) vs. 1-10 in its congeners (Table 1), and in having a significantly
longer maxillary length (17.3% SL versus 14.9 and 11.3% SL, respectively;
Fig. 3, Tables 4,8). Gill rakers 9-12 modallyy 11) vs. 11-13 modallyy 12) for
C. b. longimaxilla and C. b. bosquianus respectively.
 DESCRIPTION (See also Table 1).-Characters appearing in the generic
description and subspecies diagnoses are not repeated here. In addition,
the maxillary length varies from 14 to 22.5% SL (X = 17.3% SL, n = 125;
