Color in formalin grayish brown above, paler below the lateral 

 line, lower surface silvery; dorsal and caudal gray, outer margin of 

 the former with a series of black streaks; pectorals fuscous; other 

 fins whitish. 



Total length 230 mm. 



Described from a specimen from Tamusui River near Shinten, 

 collected by T. Aoki in December, 1916. 



Habitat: Tamusui River (Shinten, Heirinbi); Choso River; Giran 

 River (Inzanpo, Kiburan). 



Remarks: Scaphesthes leptiinis from Hainan is closely related to the 

 present species. It differs, however, in having a larger eye, the dorsal 

 inserted midway between the end of snout and base of caudal, the 

 ventral below middle of dorsal, six divided anal rays, and forty-nine 

 scales in the lateral line. There is no statement with reference to the 

 barbel in Boulenger's original description.
