This genus seems to T)e closely allied to AcantJiogohhis^ differing in 
the more elongate body and fins and in the naked head. From Goh/o- 
7iellus, an American genus of similar form, it differs in the presence 
of 8 or 9 dorsal spines. The single known species is Japanese. 
[ffvv^X^^ repeat; Gohius, the form repeating the elongate body and 
lanceolate caudal of Gohlonellu^i.)

Head 5i in length; depth lo; D. VIII-20; A. 17; P. 22. 
Body (>longate; caudal peduncle long and slender. Ej^es small; 
high up; interorl)ital width equal to yertical diameter of eye. Snout 
rather long; pointed; jaws equal; mouth oblique. Maxillary extend- 
ing to a yertical through anterior edge of orbit. Teeth in l)ands, the 
outer ones slightly enlarged. Head naked; no barbels. Body with 
rather large scales. 
Dorsals separate; the spines slender, their tips filamentous; when 
depressed not reaching insertion of soft dorsal. Anal inserted below 
base of fourth dorsal ray; when depressed, reaching about as far 
posteriorly as does the dorsal, neither fin touching base of caudal. 
Caudal pointed. Pectoral pointed; its upper edge Avithout filaments. 
Ventrals free posteriorly. 
Color ))rownish green; pectoral, anal, and lower part of caudal suf- 
fused Avith brow^nish red; soft dorsal with elongate dusky spots in 
longitudinal rows. (Schlegel.)
