 lapping much of mteropercle; oblique height of cheeks equaling the 

 diameter of eye; teeth small, in rather wide bands in both jaws, the 

 outer series in the upper jaw slightly enlarged; barbel ne«rly as long as 

 diameter of eye; branchiostegal membranes forming a free fold across

Ventrals inserted under margin of opercle, but slightly anterior 

 to pectoral bases; first dorsal inserted three series of scales behind 

 pectorals; interdorsal space equal to diameter of eye; anal inserted 

 under last ray of first dorsal (under tip of last ray in paratype) ; sec- 

 ond dorsal spine coarsely serrated (with about 1 1 spinules, as long as 

 head without eye in the paratype; tip broken, so as to prevent meas- 

 urement in the type) ; filament of outer ventral ray reaching second 

 anal ray; anus nearer base of ventrals than origin of anal; scales 

 thickly beset with short spinules, 30 or more in number, projecting 

 nearly at right angle to the surface of the scale; the spines arranged 

 in parallel rows, as many as 12 rows to a scale; but those on head 

 have the rows more or less diverging; the upper surfaces of the snout 

 and mandibular rami scaled; no special naked area about vent.
