Scaleless. Caudal fin slightly emarginate. The origin of the 

 dorsal fin is conspicuously nearer to the root of the caudal than to 

 the end. of the snout. The height of the body is considerably less 

 than the length of the head, which is a little more than one-fifth of 

 the total (without caudal). The free portion of the tail is low, its 

 depth being two-fifths of its length. Eye not very small, two- 

 elevenths of the length of the head. The length of the pectoral is 

 not much more than one-half of the distance of its base from the 

 ventral. Upper margin of the dorsal fin oblique, with the upper 

 corner rounded. Upper part of the side, and dorsal, caudal, and pec- 

 toral fins, marbled with darker. (Stetndachner.)

Scales. Caudal fin emarginate. The origin of the dorsal fin is 

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

 The height of the body is considerably less than the length of the 

 head, which is one-fifth of the total length (without caudal). The 

 free portion of the tail is very low, its depth being one-third, or 

 rather less than one-third, of its length. Eye small, one-seventh of 

 the length of the head. Snout produced, obtuse, as long as the 

 postorbital portion of the head. The length of the pectoral is not 

 much more than one-half of the distance of its base from the ventral. 

 Upper margin of the dorsal fin obHque, straight, with the upper 

 corner slightly rounded. Sides of the body, and dorsal and caudal fins, 

 irregularly marbled with brownish black. Several bars of the same 

 colour, rather distant from one another, across the back.
