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

 profile of the back slightly arched ; the greatest depth is contained 

 twice and five-sixths in the total length (without caudal); head of 

 moderate size, its length being contained thrice and two-thirds in the 

 total length (without caudal) ; the length of the snout equals that of 

 the eye, and is one-third of the length of the head. Upper jaw 

 slightly overlapping the lower ; barbels very small, one-fourth the 

 length of the eye. The origin of the dorsal fin is midway between 

 the end of the snout and the root of the caudal, and scarcely behind 

 the origin of the ventral. A roundish blackish spot on the end of

 Mouth rather small, with the upper jaw overlapping the lower. 

 Snout as long as the eye. The height of the body is one-third of 

 the total length (without caudal), the length of the head rather 

 more than one-fourth. There are four longitudinal series of scales 

 between the lateral line and the root of the ventral fin. The origin 

 of the dorsal fin is behind the base of the ventral, A round blackish
