L. 1. incomplete, decurved, not extending beyond ventral base. Dor- 

 sal about midway between hind pupil margin and caudal base, rays 

 all flexible, contains 8 branched. Anal inserted close behind dorsal 

 base, rays all flexible, contains 8 branched. Caudal emarginate. 

 Pectoral f to ventral. Ventral inserted little before dorsal, about 

 | to anal. Vent close to anal. Size small. 



This genus seems to be related to Rasbora, but differs in the incomplete 

 I. 1. From Zacco and Opsariichthys it also differs in the same char- 

 acter, besides others, such as the larger scales, etc.
