 line 19 + 12; eye 2.8 in the head, .8 in the interorbital, .6 in the preorbital. 



Compressed, blunt forward, drawn out behind, the caudal peduncle about as 

 long as high; mouth terminal, small, the maxillary not reaching the eye, entirely 

 concealed when the mouth is closed; the premaxillary-maxillary border 3.5 in the 

 head; teeth in very narrow bands, the outer series enlarged; posterior edge of 

 preopercle finely denticulate; about three rakers on the lower gill-arch. 



Three or four rows of scales on the cheek ; scales regular, a single scale between 

 the end of the lateral line and the dorsal; dorsal and anal entirely free from scales; 

 dorsal spines increasing rapidly to the fourth or fifth, subequal from there to the 

 last, the middle spines a little the longest; pectoral longer than the head, both pectoral 

 and ventrals about reaching the anal. 



A spot behind the opercle continued as a band to the middle of the caudal, 

 but more intense and with downward extensions at intervals, back with cross-

 cross-barred; opercles dark; a black stripe from the lateral line across the pre-
