body is graceful, somewhat compressed, but with a rounded 
belly. The caudal peduncle is distinct. The pharyngeal 
teeth are broad and differ from those of Schizothorax, 
in possessing a flat tip; the dental formula is 2°3°4|4°3°2. 
In general facies this genus resembles Schizopygopsis, from 
which it is distinguished by the presence of small scales on the 
sides and the absence of large scales from the scapular region. It 
differs from Schizothorax in the structure of its mouth and pharyn- 
geal dentition and in having the abdominal surface naked.

The specimens before us are young and closely resemble 
immature specimens of Schizothorax zarudnyt, with which they 
were confused in the field, in appearance. Allowing for parallel 
differences in proportions we see no reason to regard them as 
distinct from the type-species of the genus, but as these differences 
exist, we think it best, in order to avoid any possibility of con- 
fusion, to describe our specimens in detail. The largest of 
them is nearly 48 mm. long without the caudal. 
The dorsal profile is considerably and regularly arched, the 
ventral profile slightly convex. The greatest depth of the body 
is contained from 44 to 43 times in the total length without the 
caudal. The caudal peduncle in the largest specimens examined 
is twice or nearly twice as long as deep. ‘The head is large, its 
length being contained from 3? to 4 times in the total length 
without the caudal. The snout is short and bluntly rounded and 
appears somewhat swollen in lateral view. It is slightly longer 
than the eye and less than half as long as the part of the head 
behind the eye. ‘The upper surface of the head is flat. The nos- 
trils are situated close to the eye, a little in front of it. The eye 
is large, its length being contained 3 to 3} times in that of the 
- head and about 14 times in the interorbital width. The are of the 
mouth is verv wide and the posterior end of the maxilla is situated 
in front of and considerably below the eye. The fins are large 
and the dorsal is higher than the body; its margin is straight but 
slanting. The pectoral is shorter than the head. The scales 
appear to be fully developed and those of the lateral agree in 
structure with those of the scapular region. They are slightly 
broader than long, slightly sinuate at the base and differ markedly 
from those of Schizothorax in that the nucleus is situated at about 
a third the length of the scale from the free margin. The circular 
striae are about 7 in number. The radii are widely spaced and 
are considerably longer below than above the nucleus. The scales. 
of the scapular region are of moderate size. They become gradu- 
ally smaller from before backwards. Those on the upper parts 
of the sides, bordering the rather narrow naked dorsal region, are
