» Anchoviella differs from Stohphorus Lac^pcdc and related Old World gfttirra in the entire absence 

 of ventral scales. The many species cover a variety of forms; ro.Hralis and .ipinifcr with its relative%being 

 perhaps generically distinct from peTfanciatm, epsetas, and related forms, having many more gillrakcrs; 

 these latter species constitute the subgenus Anchova, the others the subgenus Anchoviella Fowler.
