One wa Ae ea — in Piss Vid 1, 38-43; Li. tr. 10; 
Elongate, compressed, dorsal and ventral profile nearly equal. 
Height 3°/,—4, head about 4°/,, eye 3'/, to more than 4. Snout 
bluntly rounded, prominent, about */, of eye. Maxillary obli- 
quely truncated behind, its end reaching farther than mandi- 
bulary joint. Dorsal a little nearer to snout than to caudal. 
Its origin far behind origin of ventrals. Its height about twice 
its length, which is nearly equal to length of head. Anal 
2*/,—3 in length, its origin behind dorsal. Ventrals 1'/, to more 
than 1'/, diameter of eye. Their origin about midway between 
anal and mandibulary joint. Pectorals as long as head without 
snout, reaching to ventrals. Fine teeth on jaws, vomer, pala- 
tines, pterygoids and tongue. Twenty gillrakers, rather stout, 
flattened, with strong spines at the innerside, double as long 
as branchial filaments, more than °*/, of eye. Scales rather 
adherent, with some fine vertical lines, some of which are 
anastomosing at the hindborder. About 25—26 abdominal 
scutes, beginning at the throat, the 1o—1! postventral ones 
the most prominent. Silvery, back darker, separated by a 
more or less faint steel blue band. Length to 350 mm. 
Habitat: South-New Guinea (Lorentz river, Strickland 
river). — In freshwater.

Oblong, compressed, ventral profile more convex than dor- 
sal. Height 3'/,—37/,, head 3°/,—4, eye 3—3'/,, about as long 
as snout, which is very prominent. Maxillary delated above 
the mandibular joint, tapering behind, extending to the gill- 
opening. Upper surface of head with a median keel. Origin 
of dorsal, which is behind origin of ventrals, about midway 
between snout and base of caudal. Height of dorsal twice its 
length, about equal to head without snout. Origin of anal 
behind origin of dorsal, its length about 3 times in length 
of body. Ventrals about midway between anal and suboper-
