The colour is the same as that of C. rostrahis, but the bands are 

 a little broader, and of an uniform brown colour without white 

 margin. The ventral fins are black. (Klunzinger.) 



No habitat is given of this species by Dr. Klunzinger, but he 

 includes it among his Australian Fishes.

This species differs from P. tahmel Forsk. in the 2nd dorsal, 

 being not nearly so high, and always lower than the middle 

 highest dorsal spines. It is also lower than the anterior highest

 In these respects this species resembles P. Waigiensis and P. 

 lembus, but these again have always a greater number of dorsal
