 the lower; barbels four, the rostral reaching the orbit, much slenderer 

 and shorter than the maxillary which is nearly as long as the snout; 

 interorbital space broad and flattened; gill-openings moderate; gill- 

 rakers short and flesh}-. 



Dorsal fin inserted nearer tip of snout than the base of caudal, 

 spines smooth, not serrated, anterior dorsal ray the longest; a recum- 

 bent spine in front of the dorsal, pointing forwards, its basal portion 

 hidden by the scales; the pectoral reaching beyond two-thirds the
