Established on a species similar to those of the last genus, but 

 with a peculiar sculpture of the scales, which consists of raised 

 points or small tubercles. There is a lateral line of tubes which I 

 cannot find in Gonchiopsis. An angular bony shield is present 

 behind the gular scutum. There are well ossified I'ibs, but the 

 structure of the fins cannot be made out at present.

Scales large, well imbricated ; each one is .01 m. in elevation,

 smooth, except a band of shallow grooves round the margin.
