The height of the body equals the length of the head, and is one- 

 fifth of the total. Upper Up very thick, especially on the sides, and 

 with a fold, hut without fringes. The width of the interorbital space 

 is two-fifths of the length of the head. The snout projects beyond 

 the mouth ; the pra;orbital is strongly emarginate anteriorly, and 

 does not entirely cover the maxillary. The lower jaw has a very 

 distinct notch at the symphysis, but scarcely any trace of a tubercle. 

 The pectoral is a little longer than the head ; the posterior dorsal 

 and the anal fins are scaly ; caudal emarginate. A small blackish 

 spot superiorly at the base of the pectoral.

The height of the body is contained four times and two-thirds or 

 five times in the total length, the length of the head five times and a 

 half. The snout is broad and depressed ; 

 the interorbital space slightly convex, its 

 width being nearly one-half of the length 

 of the head. The upper lip is very thick, 

 with three series of short broad papillae 

 on its inferior half. The angle made by 

 the two mandibularj' bones is obtuse ; the 

 prworbital has an indistinct longitudinal 

 ridge, and does not entirely cover the 

 maxillary bone ; its extremity is rounded, 

 the anterior angle being not much wider M. clielo.

 each other than the posterior is from the eye. The chin is entirely
