The height of the body is nearly equal to the length of the head, 

 and one-fifth of the total (without caudal). Jaws equal in length ; 

 snout truncated, shorter than the eye, the diameter of which is not 

 much more than one-third of the length of the head. The distance 

 from the end of the snout to the hind margin of the orbit equals that 

 from its front margin to the praeoperculum. The maxillary extends 

 to the vertical from the front margin of the eye.
