Depth of body or length of head three tenths of the length to the base 

 of the caudal. Head thick, short ; snout blunt. Lower jaw projecting be- 

 yond the upper. Eye as long as snout, half of interorbital space, two ninths 

 of head. Dorsal origin half way from eye to root of caudal in males, or 

 half way from preoperculum to base of caudal in females. Anal origin 

 opposite that of dorsal in males, more backward on females, which, be- 

 sides, have the anterior rays of the anal stiff and inflexible. Fins more 

 elongate on the male, which sex has all the scales provided with a carmine-

Length of head one fourth or more of the length from snout to base of 

 caudal, depth of body little less. Crown flattened. Snout short, blunt, chin 

 steep. Mouth directed upward ; lower jaws longer ; upper short. Eye 

 large, longer than snout, about one third of the length of the head, equal 

 the interorbital space. Dorsal origin near the middle of the total length, 

 opposite that of the anal in females, above the eighteenth scale of the lateral 

 line. Anal of male slightly advanced. Base of anal longer than that of 

 dorsal. Ventrals small, not reaching the anal. Pectorals rounded, reaching 

 beyond a vertical from the bases of the ventrals.
