the end of the snout than to the root of the caudal as compared with 

 P. variagatus. 



The colouration is similar to that of P. esocinus. The ground 

 colour of the dorsal side of the head and body is shining yellowish ochre, 

 that of the ventral side silvery. A series of round blackish blotches 

 along the lateral line ; a similar blotch is sometimes present on the 

 occiput ; and also along the dorsum. Three to four series of small 

 black spots on the dorsal and the ventral fins. 



Pharyngeal teeth 5-5, arranged in two groups of three and two. 



This species is thus very closely allied to P. variagatus from which 

 it can be at once distinguished by its coloration and by its large eyes. 

 As P. variagatus is the only species of Pseudogobio mentioned by 

 Giinther in his great work, that is devoid of any barbel, the present 

 species may form the second species of the Sarcochilichthys type of the 

 genus, provided that no other species has became known since the 

 publication of his catalogue Vol. VIL The lack of sufficient literature 

 on the subject makes it impossible for me to decide either on this point 

 or on the novelty of the species.
