232 MEMOIRS OF THE CARNEGIE MUSEUM. 



Dorsal very slightly nearer base of caudal than tip of snout, its margin straight; 

 anal inserted under last dorsal ray; pectorals extending over half-way to ventrals; 

 latter reaching vent, not anal. Caudal forked. 



Scales small, especially on occiput and breast, lateral line slightly decurved, 

 continuous. 



Color dark above, with fine irregular stippling; a darker band arising on snout 

 and terminating with slight dilation at base of caudal, which has a basal spot in 

 young; breadth of band equal to diameter of eye. A dark median band from oc- 

 ciput to caudal. Upper fins slightly dusky, lower clear. 



We have five specimens, 62 to 87 mm. in total length, all from Lake Biwa. 



The species may be readily separated from Japanese species of Leuciscus by 

 the insertion of the anal fin, which lies under the last ray of the dorsal, and by the 

 small scales. 



In form and coloration this species resembles the American genus Rhinichthys. 

 In the form of the head it differs considerably from the type of Pseudaspius. 

 resembling more the species of Leuciscus. It may be generically different from 

 Pseudaspius. It has an ally in Korea, which we have also referred to Pseudaspius,

 others in the lower fins and slightly shorter maxillary. One from Hakodate, No. 

 6195a, has scales 75; another from Sendai, No. 6245a, has scales 16-79-13. This
