CORICA BLEEKERI Hardenbers 



Corica Ueekeri Habdenbekq, Treubia, vol. 15, livr. 3, p. 229, 1936 (type locality : 

 Middle course of Kapuas River, Borneo). 



Depth 4, body elongate, compressed; head 4. Eye 3 in head, 

 equals snout or postorbitial ; maxillary reaches somewhat beyond 

 front margin of eye, somewhat more than twice in head; hardly 

 conspicuous ridge each side of vertex. 



Scales 35 or 36 in lateral series; 9 transversely. Abdominal scutes 

 9 or 10+5. Ventral profile more convex than dorsal, which almost 

 straight. Vertebrae 35 or 36. 



D. 13 or 14, origin midway between front eye edge and caudal 

 base, somewhat more than twice head; A. 14 to 16+2, first anal % 

 of head and second anal remote from first ; pectoral rays 12, fin % of 

 head ; ventral rays 8, origin below third or fourth dorsal ray, some- 

 what shorter than snout and eye. 



Silvery, fins hyaline. A black spot on occiput. Two very faint 

 dotted lines on back behind dorsal. 



Length, mature at 35 mm., series 18-45 mm. (Hardenberg.) 



East Indies. Differs from Corioa sohorna in fewer dorsal rays, 

 fewer abdominal scutes and fewer lateral scales.

 (Bangkok; Paknam; Tachin). 



Depth 4 to 43/4 ; head 32/3 to Z%, width 214 to 21/2- Snout 31/2 to 4 

 in head from snout tip; eye 3 to 3%, greater than snout or inter- 

 orbital ; maxillary reaches y^ to % in eye, expansion 2 in eye, length 

 21/^ to 2% in head from snout tip ; apparently no teeth ; interorbital 

 4 to 5%, low, slightly convex. Gill rakers 11 + 21, V/^ in eye; gill 

 filaments % of gill rakers. 



Scales 30 or 31 in lateral series from shoulder to caudal base and 

 2 or 3 more on latter; 10 scales transversely at dorsal origin, 14 or 

 15 predorsal scales. Caudal base scaly. Scales with 12 to 14 well 

 contrasted, marginal, straight, basal striae, group above and below 

 axis each with parallel striae so their angles would converge; basal
