Head and body slightly compressed. The total length 

 about 5h times the height of the body and 4^ times the 

 length of the head. The top of the head is smooth, with 

 two small ridges, and it descends abruptly in front of the 

 eyes, which are lateral. The diameter of the eye is about

 other bones of the head unarmed. Pectoral fins rather 

 pointed, as long as the head, the lower five rays slightly 

 thickened. Ventrals jugular, remote at their bases, pointed, 

 nearly as long as the pectorals, the spine soft. Dorsals 

 separate ; the first about half the length of the second ; 

 neither of them so high as the body. Anal rather shorter
