Thirty-three longitudinal series of scales between the origin of 

 the posterior dorsal and the anal, sixty transverse ones between 

 the anterior dorsal to the snout. The height of the body is 

 contained four times and two-thirds or five times in the total 

 length, the length of the head four times and a fourth. Head 

 broad, depressed, with the snout obtuse ; the lower jaw is some- 

 what prominent, and the maxillary extends to below the middle of 

 the eye. Teeth of the outer series enlarged. The diameter of 

 the eye is one-ninth of the length of the head, one half of that of 

 the snout, and one-third of the width of the interorbital space. 

 A small barbel on each side of the upper jaw. The head is covered 

 with minute scales, the snout is naked. Dorsal and anal fins 

 much lower than the body ; the greater portion of the caudal 

 is scaly ; its length is about one seventh of the total. Brownish- 

 olive (in spirits) ; dorsal and caudal fins dotted with brown, the 

 other fins uniform. A blackish (in life reddish-brown) ocellus, 

 edged with whitish, on the upper part of the base of the caudal.
