5 PO, all level. VLO a little nearer lateral line than pelvic fin. 6 {}) VO, all level, the 

 last in front of the origin of the anal. Only 2 SAO, the first nearer to the anal fin than 

 to lateral line, a little posterior to the second, which is just below the lateral line. 

 AO 6-7 + 2-3, all level; posteroanal series well behind the anal base and just in front of 

 the infracaudal plate, i Pol, near the lateral line. 2-3 + i {}) Pre. Supracaudal plate 

 emarginate posteriorly, shorter than infracaudal plate, which is a little more than ^ 

 length of head. 



Described from two specimens, 88 to 94 mm. in length.
