The osseous dorsal ray is rather feeble, its stiff portion being not 

 quite half as long as the head, the length of which equals the depth 

 of the body, and is one-fourth or somewhat more than one-fourth 

 of the total length (without caudal). There are two series of scales 

 between the lateral line and the root of the ventral. Head mode- 

 rately elongate, its greatest height being equal to its length, with- 

 out snout; operculum only two-thirds as long as high. Snout of 

 moderate length, obtusely conical, with thick lips, the lower having 

 a broad, weU-developed lobe ; moutb inferior. Origin of the dorsal 

 fin nearly midway between the end of the snout and the root of the 

 caudal. Caudal fin deeply forked.

 The osseous dorsal ray is rather strong, smooth, as long as the 

 head, without snout. There are one and a half series of scales 

 between the lateral line and the root of the ventral fin. Lips mode- 

 rately thick, the lower with a more or less distinct indication of a 

 lobe ; mouth inferior. The length of the head is one-fourth of the 

 total (without caudal), the height of the body one-third. Body com- 

 pressed, scarcely elongate (except in young examples), with the 

 back below the origin of the dorsal somewhat elevated. Snout of 

 moderate length. Origin of the dorsal fin midway between the end 

 of the snout and the root of the caudal. Caudal fin deeply forked.
