than dorsal one, especially before ventrals. Height 3—3%/,, 
head 3?/,—4, eye 3'/,—4, equals snout in adults. Two pairs of 
diverging ridges on the upper surface of the head, the posterior 
halves of which run nearly parallel. Maxillary reaches middle 
of eye, 2—2'/, in head. Oral border of maxillary without a 
supplementary bone (cf. P. hoeveniz) but with a ligament in- 
stead. Origin of dorsal midway between snout and caudal or 
slightly nearer to lastnamed, far behind origin of ventrals, 
which are situated nearly in the middle between anal and 
suboperculum. Ventrals shorter than eye. Pectorals about as 
long as head without snout, reaching to the ventrals or not 
so far. Anal 3 times or a little more in length. Its origin 
below the end of the base of the dorsal or very little before 
it. Caudal scaly, deeply incised, 3°/,—4'/,. Teeth on palatines, 
pterygoids and tongue. Gillrakers 21, stout. Scales thin, deci- 
duous, generally with a few vertical lines, hindmargin smooth.

hyaline, margin of dorsal and upper, under and hindmargin 
of caudal darker. Length over 400 mm.
