Evidently closely related to the preceding species, differing in that the length of 

 the head is | its distance from the vent, the tail is considerably longer than the head 

 and trunk (only a little longer in A. (lepressiceps), and the coloration is different, the 

 body being marked with broad cross bands, the interspaces between which correspond 

 to the pale bands or sjDots on the back and dorsal fin of A. depressiceps.
