None of our examples has the first membrane of the ventral dark. 

 Also all have the dark caudal spot much smaller, in no case greater 

 than a scale in extent. Bleeker's figure of the present species is also 

 somewhat different in minor details. He does not show the dark 

 vertical bars broken or in any way incomplete. There is also no 

 indication of the usual dark spot at the bases of the last anal rays. 

 Many of our examples have a dark subbasal streak on second dorsal, 

 also not shown by Bleeker.
