Height of body 1J in the length of the pectoral fin. Head 

 above with a shallow but distinct groove ; tongue rough ; length 

 of head a little more than one-third of the total length without the 

 caudal fin. In other respects this species is like B. robustus. 

 Gunth. A slight keel of skin on the tail which is higher than 

 broad ; posterior dorsal and anal rays low ; the lower margin of 

 the maxillary only visible ; scales small, adhering, caudal fin forked. 

 B. charan has the posterior dorsal and anal rays longer, and is also 

 different in its dimensions and fin formula. B. liuroides has 

 larger scales and larger head. The colour in this species is like the 

 rest of the genus, Dr. Klunzinger thinks that this species is also 

 quite distinct from B. gavealoides of Castelnau, but he complains 

 that that species has been very inadequately described. 60 Ctm.
