Pale, with a pair of bands as broad as the pupil extending from the

 of bands extending from the snout through the middle of the eye, in a 

 straight line below the lateral line to the base of the caudal; traces on

 single stripe on the mesial line of the body, from a point in advance of 

 the eyes to the region of the dorsal ; a very prominent blotch at base of 

 caudal fin; maxillary extending beyond front of orbit ; dorsal fin mod-
