" Type. — Head and anterior part of trunk; British Museum. 



A species of moderate size attaining a length of about 40 cm. Head with 

 opercular apparatus occupying about one-quarter of the total length; maximum 

 depth of trunk contained fifteen times in the total length. Cranium about five 

 times as long as its maximum depth, jaws equal in length, the pointed anterior 

 extremity of the dentary bones suturally united with a deep roirentering angle in 

 the pre-symphysial bone; external ornament very finely rugose. Vertebrae in the 

 form of robust constricted rings, longer than deep. Space between the origin of the 

 pelvic fins and that of the anal fin about equal to the space between the latter and 

 the caudal. Scales finely tuberculated, partly rugose; those of the lateral line not 

 much exceeding in depth the series below." (A. S. Woodward, I. c, Pt. Ill, 

 p. 430).
