Body very robust, comj^ressed. Form nearly oval ; dorsal outline 

 more convex than ventral. Antedorsal outline rather steep, slightly

 rather small ; maxillary reaching to front margin of eye. Outer row of 

 teeth on both jaws much stronger than the others. Teeth on vomer and

 terior spur turned up ; stoutish, the inner angle rounded, somewhat ob- 

 tuse. Teeth stout, very much blunted, not close set ; the inner consid- 

 erably stronger and less blunt than the rest. The characters of the 

 pharyngeals are those ascribed by Professor Jordan to the genus Xys- 

 tropUfes. Grill-rakers short, stout, nearly terete, about eight in number,
