 D. 9. A. 12. L. lat. 42. L. transv. |. 



A very small barbel at the upper end of the maxillary. The 

 height of the body is nearly equal to the length of the head, which 

 is contained four times and one-third in the total (without caudal). 

 Mouth obliquely descending backwards, of moderate width, the 

 maxillary extending somewhat beyond the front margin of the eye. 

 Jaws equal in length, the lower slightly projecting when the mouth 

 is open. The diameter of the eye is rather less than the lengiih of 

 the snout, much less than the Avidth of the interorbital space, and 

 one-fourth of the length of the head. The thii'd suborbital bone is 

 nearly contiguous witli the prfeopercular ridge. Dorsal fin higher 

 than long, its origin is midway between the occiput and the root of 

 the caudal ; and its last ray is before the vertical from the anal tin. 

 Caudal fin deeply forked ; pectoral not extending on to the ventral, 

 shorter than the head ; ventral reaching the vent. Pectoral process 

 Ox the humerus very short. Cross bars indistinct.
