Abstract
numerous sharp though soft points, like those of Odontoscion. Such points, but no true spines, are borne on the preopercular margin of 0. xanthops, as represented by 3 adults (USNM Nos. 80762-64) collected at Panama by Meek and Hildebrand. The relationship between E. archidium and 0. xanthops appears to be much less intimate than is suggested by Hildebrand's comparison (1946: 282). To conclude: Odontoscion australis is merely the juvenile stage and a synonym of Elattarchus archidium, one of the endemic elements in the rich sciaenid fauna of the Panamaic region.
