Description taken from ten specimens 2.5-4.5 inches long, collected at 

 Chinnampo, Korea (No. 4142a-k): 



D. 9; A. 7; pores in lateral line about 95; head in length 4.8; depth 8.5; 

 depth of caudal peduncle in head 1.25; eye 6; snout 2.33; interorbital 4.25; 

 pectoral 1.60. Barbels six, four of them close together on snout, one on apex 

 of each maxillary; nostrils small near eye, anterior with a flap; scales small, 

 imbedded, not imbricated, apparently lacking on head; lateral line median; 

 gill-openings confined to sides, not extending forward, separated by broad 

 isthmus. Body long, slender, not compressed, uniform in depth from shoulder 

 to vent; caudal peduncle compressed, its width at base 1.66 in its depth; head 

 long, slightly compressed, conical, tapering to the bluntly rounded, projecting 

 snout; mouth inferior, small; maxillary reaching to below anterior nostril, not 

 nearly to eye; all barbels long, about equal to snout; eye small, elevated, about 

 midway in length of head. 



Dorsal short, rather high, apex rounded, inserted nearer the tip of the snout 

 than the base of the caudal by a distance equal to length of snout; caudal very 

 slightly emarginate; pectorals short, rounded; ventrals inserted very slightly in 

 front of dorsal, not reaching vent; anal short, high, inserted well behind vertical 

 from tip of depressed dorsal, half the length of head behind the last dorsal ray. 



Color in spirits dusky above lateral line, irregularly blotched with darker 

 areas, most of which are much larger than eye; sides below lateral line lighter, 

 with indistinct blotches; ventral surface white. Top of head dark, with irreg- 

 ular light specks; sides of head mottled and freckled, with a dark stripe from
