Head 4.09 in length; depth 3.4; D. 3, 7; xA.. 3, 7; P. 18; \'. 9; width of 

 head 1.33 in its length, eye 6 in head; interorbital space 1.8; snout 

 2.5; pectoral 1.33; ventral 1.71; forty scales in the lateral line, seven 

 scales in an oblique series between origin of dorsal and lateral line, 

 five scales between the latter and the root of ventral, eight between 

 lateral line and the middle of belly; pharyngeal teeth 5, 2 — 2, 5; gill; 

 rakers 6 + 10. 



Body stout, dorsal and ventral profiles about equally arched, tail 

 compressed, head small, flattened; snout broad and short, anterior 

 margin obtusely rounded; mouth subinferior, its angle reaching a 

 vertical through anterior border of the anterior nostril; upper jaw 

 somewhat longer than the lower; upper lip rather thin, thicker in front; 

 lower lip distinct at the angle of the mouth only; eyes moderate, 

 superior and anterior; interorbital space very broad; nostrils together, 

 in front of eye above; gill-membranes united, scarcely reaching to 

 isthmus behind a vertical through the anterior border of orbit: gill- 

 rakers long and slender, widely set; pharyngeal teeth of the outer row 

 strong, laterally compressed, apical half comb-shaped, with a series of 

 folds on both sides; those of the inner row very small, laterally com- 

 pressed, the apical part comb-shaped. 



Origin of dorsal slightly nearer tip of snout than base of caudal, 

 anterior rays longer, pectorals reaching beyond half or the distance to 

 ventrals; ventral rather small, inserted one scale behind the origin of 

 dorsal; anal fin entirely behind the dorsal; its origin nearer to base of 

 caudal than that of the ventral. 



Body covered with large scales with radiating striae and concentric 

 rings; lateral line continuous, slightly decurved, extending along the 

 middle of the sides. 



Color in formalin uniformly gray above, paler below; lower parts 

 and ventral fins whitish; upper surface of the pectoral dusky; other 

 fins pale gray.
