Color in alcohol: General color brown, the minute scales giving this brown the appearance of small 

 white punctulations; a series of 10 white blotches punctate with brown along base of dorsal, each one 

 ex lending from upper edge of tin down upon body, forming semicircular patches about as large as pectoral 

 fin; a series of irregular white parallel bars about as wide as eye on anterior lower half of side, these 

 broken posteriorly into rows of dots; head pale beneath, a white stripe extending from front of occiput 

 through eye to posterior tip of mandible, broadening somewhat as it descends, another small white 

 stripe extending vertically along anterior margin of orbit; snout and lower lip brown, chin white; 

 caudal and anal dusky; ventral and pectoral plain; dorsal general color of back. 



This fish differs from the description of P. dolichogaster in having the anterior spines of dorsal short, 

 also in having a sharp ridge on interorbital space, and the color entirely different.

 on the dorsal and upper part of body; others have broad U-shaped dark marks on dorsal and upper 

 part of body instead of these dark spots. The latter have from 1 to 3 dark spots on anterior rays of dorsal, 

 these sometimes indistinct.
