Head 4f in length to base of caudal ; depth 2? ; eye 2f in head ; 

 scales 6-34-5. D. 17 or 18 ; A. 13 or 14. 



Dorsal beginning over middle of space between ventrals and oval, 

 a little nearer caudal than tip of snout. Ventrals nearly reaching 

 anal ; origin of anal under fourth branched ray of dorsal ; end of 

 dorsal over next to last ray of anal ; pectorals nearly reaching ven- 

 trals, equal to length of tail from anal. Least depth of tail 1$ in 

 its length, equal to distance between pectoral and lateral line. Teeth 

 with a few serrse. Barbels rather well-developed, I length of eye. 

 Snout f of eye. Length of head equal to greatest distance above 

 lateral line, depth of head equal to or a little less than greatest dis- 

 tance below lateral line. Caudal forked. Color, in alcohol, oliva- 

 ceous, a narrow, dark band on side of tail, pointed anteriorly and 

 two obscure blotches on each side behind head, above lateral line ; 

 dorsal with two rows of dark spots on the rays. 



This species is closely related to Acanthorhodeus guichenoti 

 Bleeker, differing in having a more slender body with fewer longi- 

 tudinal rows of scales and a more posterior dorsal with but two 

 long rays.
