This species is closely related to Scomber chloris Bloch, with which it 

 may possibly prove identical. However, that form, if the original 

 figure is to be trusted, is very close to Scomber chrysurus Linnaeus. 

 It will be seen to differ from C. chrysurus in the slightly deeper form, 

 larger eye, more anterior insertion of the anal, and longer pectoral. 

 The gill-rakers are about the same.
