Br86.° D0) 2 Amabile) Wels aE 7: 
Moderately elongate, compressed, tapering regularly from the body to 
the attenuate extremity of the tail. Head near one fifth of the total length, 
depth about two thirds of its length. Snout as long as the orbit, broad at 
the end, width one and one half times that of the interorbital space, median 
angle prominent, ridges from the lateral angles passing over the orbits con- 
verging regularly to the occiput; tip surmounted by a few sharp spines 
hooking backward; lateral angles not prominent. Suborbital ridge pro- 
nounced, subtending the orbit. Eye of medium size, as long as the snout, one 
and one half times the width of the interorbital space, prominent. Bones of 
the skull firm, muciparous excavations large. Skull concave between the 
eyes and rising to each orbit in a strong edge. Median rostral ridge well 
developed reaching back upon the interorbital area. Mouth rather small; 
maxillary extending below half of the eye. Teeth small, in villiform bands, 
outer series larger anteriorly. Barbel small, less than half as long as the or- 
bit. Origin of the spinous dorsal above the axil of the pectoral ; first spine 
small; second spine largest, strong, anterior edge with sharp close-set spin- 
ules, apex with a filament, hinder rays short. Second dorsal low, feebly de- 
veloped anteriorly, origin about one length of the eye backward of the base of 
the first dorsal. Anal stronger than second dorsal and originating a little 
nearer the head. Vent below the space between the dorsals, close to the first 
anal ray. Ventrals small below the axil of the pectorals, outer ray with a 
filament reaching to the anal. Scales medium, bristling with spinules 
arranged in longitudinal series; those on the top of the snout are the 
strongest. Fourteen pyloric ceca, Stomach filled with portions of shrimp- 
like crustacea.
