older specimens. Maxillary barbels somewhat longer than the 

 rostral ones, about equal to half diameter of eye. Origin of 

 dorsal in the middle between end of snout and root of caudal, 

 about above hindborder of nth scale of lateral line and oppo- 

 site to origin of ventrals or slightly behind it, separated by 

 lo scales from occiput. Dorsal concave, the anterior rays elon- 

 gated, its fourth spine very strongly ossified and strongly 

 serrated, its stiff portion longer than the head. Anal concave, 

 its height about equal to head without snout, its simple rays 

 rather weak. Ventrals separated by 4 scales from lateral line, 

 somewhat longer than height of anal, slightly shorter than 

 pectorals which reach ventrals. Caudal deeply forked, its lobes 

 pointed, about equal to head. Least height of caudal peduncle 

 more than twice in head, surrounded by 16 scales. Silvery, back 

 darkish. Distal part of dorsal and caudal dark. Length 450 mm.

 Compressed, dorsal profile ascending from snout to dorsal, 

 with a slight convexity behind nape. Height 3 or somewhat 

 more, 3.7 — 3.9 in length with caudal. Head 3.1 — 3.4, 2)-7 — 4-3 

 in length with caudal. Snout slightly prominent. Eye 4 — 4.4, 

 1.2 — 1.5 in snout and shorter than interorbital space, 1.5 — 1.8 

 in postorbital part of head. A very short barbel behind 

 corner of mouth and a pair of minute rostral ones. Origin 

 of dorsal opposite to 13th scale of lateral line, in the middle 

 of a line connecting end of snout and end of shortest caudal 

 rays, separated by 15 scales from occiput. Dorsal concave, 

 third spine strongly ossified and strongly denticulated, with 

 its flexible portion 1.2 — 1.3 in head, 1.3 — 1.5 in height of body.
