Profile strongly arched from snout to dorsal. Compressed. 

 Height 2.3 — 2.4, 3 or less in length with caudal. Head 3.5 — 4, 

 5 in length with caudal. Eye 3 — 3.7, somewhat shorter than 

 snout, longer than snout in smaller specimens. Snout bluntly 

 pointed, upper jaw slightly prominent. Lips rather thin. Four 

 barbels, the rostral ones shorter than those at the corner of 

 the mouth, which are much longer than eye. Origin of dorsal 

 about opposite to nth scale of lateral line and to middle of line 

 connecting end of snout and root of caudal, separated by 13 

 scales from occiput. Dorsal concave, third dorsal spine very 

 strong, with strong teeth posteriorly, nearly equal to head or 

 somewhat shorter (with its flexible part). Anal deeply concave, 

 its strong smooth third spine shorter than the dorsal one. 

 Ventrals about equal to pectorals, their origin separated by 

 3 or 37.2 (4) scales from 9th scale of lateral line, surpassing 

 anus. Pectorals somewhat shorter than head, reaching to or 

 surpassing base of ventrals, in old specimens as long as head 

 and not reaching ventrals. Caudal deeply forked, its lobes 

 pointed, much longer than head. Least height of caudal peduncle 

 equal to its length, about I'/g in head, or less in old specimens, 

 surrounded by 16 scales. Scales with more or less parallel 

 conspicuous longitudinal lines. Silvery, upper surface greyish 

 brown in alcohol specimens, sides and lower surface whitish. 

 Fins hyaline. Upper part of dorsal blackish, pectorals dark.
