 There are two series of scales between the lateral line and the root 

 of the ventral fin. Lips moderately thick, lower lip without lobe, 

 but with a continuous transverse fold ; mouth inferior. Body com- 

 pressed, rather elongate, its depth being two-sevenths of the total 

 length (without caudal) ; snout of moderate length ; operculum 

 much higher than long. Origin of the dorsal fin nearly midway 

 between the end of the snout and the root of the caudal. Caudal
