Closely allied to C. wartmanni. The height of the body is one- 

 fourth of the total length (v?ithout caudal), the length of the head 

 two-ninths. Snout as long as the eye, truncated, with the upper 

 jaw but little longer than the lower. The maxillary extends some- 

 what beyond the vertical from the front margin of the eye, and its 

 length is one-fourth of that of the head ; the siipplementary bone is 

 rather broad, subsemicircular. The length of the mandible is more 

 than the least depth of the tail. Back behind the head arched and 

 ascending in a strongish curve. Pectoral longer than the head (with- 

 out snout) . Fins blackish or black ; head and base of the caudal 

 sometimes with small blackish dots.

 The height of the body is two-sevenths of the total length (without 

 caudal), the length of the head two-ninths ; snout longer than 

 the diameter of the eye, which is nearly one-fifth of the length of 

 the head ; it is rather broad and vertically truncated in front, with 

 the lower jaw a little shorter than the ^^pper. Interorbital si)ace 

 flattish, its width being equal to once and two-thirds the diameter of 

 the eye. Maxillary well developed, strong, two-sevenths of the length 

 of the head, with a longitudinal ridge, extending somewhat beyond 

 the vertical from the front margin of the eye ; supplementary bono
