The height of the body is contained twice and two thirds in the 

 total length ; the length of the head about three times in the 

 same ; the diameter of the eye is contained once and two-thirds 

 in the length of the snout. Form rather elongate ; the body is 

 covered with minute mushroom-shaped granulations. The 

 ventral spine is formed of a little bunch of spinules ; the dorsal 

 spine is inserted a little behind the centre of the orbit, and a 

 little in front of the insertion of the pectorals ; its height is about 

 equal to half that of the body ; it is straight, four-edged, and 

 terminates in a small filament ; the anterior barbs are strong, 

 directed downwards ; the posterior are more feeble and closer 

 together than the anterior. The caudal fin is rather long. 

 Colour light green, white on the belly, an irregular, broad band 

 extends on each side from the snout to the tail ; the first dorsal 

 fin is green, the second and the anal and pectorals are white and 

 transparent. Length under two inches.
