 (^^^thout caudal) ; suoiit short, obtuse, as long as the diameter of the 

 eye, which is one-fourth of the length of the head ; barbels small, 

 not longer than the eye. The origin of the dorsal fin is opposite to 

 that of the ventrals, and midway between the end of the snout and 

 the root of the caudal. Uniform silvery.

 The osseous dorsal ray is strong, and coarsely serrated behind, its 

 stiff portion being as long as the head, without snout. There are 

 three and a half series of scales between the lateral line and the 

 root of the ventral fin. Body strongly compressed, much elevated, 

 as in Leuciscus erythrophtlialmus, with the profile of the back much 

 arched ; its depth is contained once and three-fourths in the total 

 length (without caudal) ; head of moderate size, its length being a 

 little more than one-fourth of the total (without caudal) ; snout 

 short, obtuse, a little shorter than the diameter of the eye, which is 

 one-fourth of the length of the head ; barbels not much longer than 

 the eye. The origin of the dorsal fin is behind that of the ventrals, 

 and nearer to the root of the caudal than to the end of the snout.
