Scales minute. Head and body rather compressed ; 

 the height of the head equals the length of the head, 

 and is two-ninths of the total (without caudal); the 

 length of the head is one-half of the distance between 



O 



the snout and the vertical from the origin of the 

 dorsal fin. Snout very obtuse, scarcely longer than the 

 diameter of the eye, which is three-fourths of the width 

 of the interorbital space. The lower jaw is a little shorter 

 than the upper ; maxillary of moderate width, scarcely 

 reaching to the vertical from the margin of the orbit. 

 Teeth of moderate strength ; those along the medium 

 line of the hyoid are very small. Praoperculum with 

 a very distinct lower limb. Fins rather small ; the 

 length of the pectoral is less than that of the head 

 (without snout), or one-half of the distance of its root 

 from the ventrals ; caudal fin slightly emarginate. Back 

 and sides reddish olive ; sides with numerous round 

 light-coloured spots. Belly whitish, powdered with 

 reddish olive ; paired fins and anal colourless ; caudal 

 immaculate. Pyloric appendages very long and wide.
