摘　　要：Pampus cinereus （Bloch, 1795） （Stromateidae）, a species believed to be widely distributed throughout the Indo-Western Pacific region, was redescribed and a neotype was designated. The designation of a neotype was necessary because of ambiguous data in Bloch＇s original description and the loss of the original type specimen. Morphological data indicated that 10 recently-collected specimens from the coasts of southem China agreed well with Bloch＇s original description and figure ofP. cinereus. A neotype for this species was selected from among the 10 specimens, and a detailed description is presented in this paper.Pampus cinereus (Bloch, 1795) (Stromateidae), a species believed to be widely distributed throughout the Indo-Western Pacific region, was redescribed and a neotype was designated. The designation of a neotype was necessary because of ambiguous data in Bloch's original description and the loss of the original type specimen. Morphological data indicated that 10 recently-collected specimens from the coasts of southern China agreed well with Bloch's original description and figure of P. cinereus. A neotype for this species was selected from among the 10 specimens, and a detailed description is presented in this paper.
