For this species we are indebted to Dr. Macleod, who found it in the 
mountain streams at Simla. 
The length of the head to that of the body is as one to two and half, in- 
termaxillaries protractile, lips round, smooth, and thick, with four cirri. The 
body contracts suddenly under the dorsal and over the insertion of the anal 
fin; there are thirty-three scales along the lateral line, and nine in an oblique 
row from the base of the ventrals to the dorsum. The fin rays are, 
D.10:P.16: V.9: A.7:C.18. 
The three first rays of the dorsal are united and spinous, the pectoral fins 
are small, and their rays slender in proportion to those of the ventrals. 
The intestine and stomach are a small and continuous tube equal to 
about twice the entire length of the animal. 
The thick lips and blunt profile of this species give it somewhat the 
appearance of Cyp. chedra, Buch.; its usual length appears from Macleod’s 
specimens to be from four to six inches, but it may attain a larger size.
