Depth 1% to 2; head 3 to 31/5, width 1% to 1%- Snout 3 to 

 ^Vs '1 eye 3l^ to 4, 1 to 1% in snout, 1 to lYs in interorbital ; maxillary 

 reaches eye, 3% to 3i/^ in head ; teeth uniserial, compressed, truncate, 

 form close set cutting edge ; interorbital broadly convex, 3% in head ; 

 infraorbital and hind preopercle edge coarsely denticulate. Gill 

 rakers 8-J-13, lanceolate, rather robust, short. 



Tubes in lateral line 16 to 18, pores in straight section 7 or 8+1 

 to 3 ; 3 or 4 scales above lateral line, 9 or 10 below, 20 to 22 predorsal ; 

 3 rows of cheek scales, none on infraorbital or preopercle flange. 

 Scales with 7 to 9 basal radiating striae ; apical denticles 113 to 182, 

 with 1 to 4 transverse series of basal elements ; circuli very fine.

 dark species this may be known by the few more dorsal spines, 13 

 or 14 as compared with the usual 12 in Pomacentrus nigi'icans and

 though in color pattern always of a general dark uniform shade.
