 It differs from B. affirm in the scales of the lateral line being more 

 numerous as also the rays of the dorsal and anal tins. In most 

 other particulars it is very like B. affinis. The projecting chin 

 has in front on each side an obtuse spine and above it a pore. The 

 caudal fin is long and deeply forked, the fork tips narrow, pointed, 

 and of the same length. Lateral line straight. Colour reddish 

 with a blue glimmer (in spirits), especially on the upper part.
