Rostro-dorsal profile convex. Height 3.8 — 4.7 in length, 

 4.8 — 5.6 in length with caudal. Head somewhat less than height. 

 Eye about '/g of length of head, contained more or less than 

 1Y2 times in postorbital part of head and about 1 '/s in inter- 

 orbital space, which is nearly flat; a gelatinous eyelid covers 

 the largest part of the iris. Snout shorter than eye, convex, 

 obtuse, broadly rounded and slightly prominent before front- 

 border of upperlip. Praeorbital scaly, not or only slightly bent, 

 weakly emarginate, its hindborder broadly truncate with a 

 very fine serrature, its lower border rough. Maxillary entirely 

 hidden or nearly so. Lips thin, smooth, symphysial knob double. 

 Origin of first dorsal about midway between end of snout and 

 base of caudal or slightly nearer to lastnamed; opposite to 

 lO^h or ii^h lateral scale and separated from end of snout by 

 18 — 20 praedorsal scales. Dorsal spines rather slender, about 

 equal to postorbital part of head and as high as or somewhat 

 higher than second dorsal and anal, which are emarginate 

 and scaly at their base. Origin of second dorsal opposite to 

 20th or 2iist lateral scale, that of anal with its anterior third or 

 half before origin of soft dorsal. Pectorals equal to head without 

 snout or somewhat shorter, reaching to 8th or 9th lateral scale. 

 Their axillary scale large, about -/r, of the length of the pec- 

 toral; a still larger axillary scale at base of ventrals and of spiny
