The description has been drawn up after comparing the spe- 

 cimen with four examples of L. dclicatulus (the only other known 

 species of the genus) from Malabar. These examples agree with

 description of Cuvier and Vallance. 



The new species differs from L. delicatulus in the following 

 points : — 



1. The diameter of the eye is \ of the total head length (i in 



L. delicatuhis) , and the snout is longer than the eye. 



2. The first dorsal fin is separated from the second by an m- 



terval at least as wide as the base of the first dorsal
