 pt. 2, p. 260, 1933 (type locality: ludragiri River mouth, Sumatra). 



Depth 37/10 to 4; head 4i/io to 42/5. Snout 2 in eye or less; eye 

 31/5 to 33/5 in head; maxillary reaches gill opening, dilated above 

 mandibiilary joint, pointed. Lower gill rakers 20 to 29, according 

 to localities. 



Scales 35 to 37 in lateral series; 8 or 9 transversely. Scales not 

 deciduous, striated, in middle finely broken. Abdominal scutes 5 

 to 8, last one inserted before ventrals. Vertebrae 38 or 39, of which 

 19 or 20 caudal. 



D. I, 14 to 16, origin somewhat behind middle between snout tip 

 and first caudal rays, small spine in front of fin; A. 19 to 21, long 

 as head or somewhat shorter, 4% to 4% in length, its origin below 

 dorsal, midway between middle of opercle and base of caudal; pec- 

 toral rays 12 to 14, reach to middle of pupil; ventral rays 7, 

 % of pectoral, inserted before dorsal, midway between anal origin 

 and base of pectoral. 



A silvery lateral band. Black spot on occiput. Two thin lines 

 of small pigment spots on back, from dorsal to caudal. Sides of 

 back somewhat pigmented. Fins hyaline. Caudal bordered with 

 black. 



Length, mature at 70 mm., reaches 110 mm. (Hardenberg.) 



Borneo, Sumatra, and Java, chiefly in estuaries. Closely related 

 to Anchoviella tri, from which it is distinguished by the incomplete 

 pigment lines on the back, miming from the dorsal to the caudal 

 only. In A. tri they extend from the head to the caudal. The salt- 

 water Stolephorus haganensis macrops differs in a larger pupil and 

 shorter anal fin or its length 5 to 51/2 in fish (41/2 in S. hagcmensis).
