MATERIALS AND METHODS
Records reported include information
from field notes, personal observations,
and collected specimens. Material in the
fish collections of the University of Puerto
Rico [UPRM], Academy of Natural Sciences
Philadelphia [ANSP] and University
of Miami [UMML] were searched for records.
UMML specimens are now housed at
the Florida Natural History Museum and
are listed by their new UF catalog number
(UF numbers equal UMML numbers plus
200000, e.g., UMML 1111 = UF 201111). Information
on specimens examined is listed
in the following order: catalog number,
number of specimens: size range (in parentheses),
collection method, depth of collection,
habitat, location, collector, and date.
Lengths are in millimeters; standard length
unless otherwise noted as FL (fork length)
or TL (total length). Where information isattributable to an author it is noted with the
author’s initials in parentheses. We follow
Eschmeyer et al. (1998) for nomenclature
and authorities. Museum catalog codes
follow Leviton et al. (1985). We searched
other museum collections primarily via the
NEODAT database (www.neodat.org) for
information on the distribution of rare taxa.
These records were not substantiated, but
referred to in the distributional account.
