head; occipital fontauelle small, in advance of occipital pro- 

 cess ; eye small, 3 times in length of snout, 5|- times in inter- 

 orbital width ; width of mouth a little less than interorbital 

 width, f length of head. Band of prajmaxillarj teeth 5^ 

 times as long as broad ; vomerine teeth granular, forming a 

 crescentic band which is as broad as the prasmaxillary band. 

 Nasal barbel f length of head ; maxillary barbel slightly 

 shorter than head, reaching base of pectoral fin ; outer man- 

 dibular barbel f length of head, inner |. Gill-rakers fine and 

 closely set, about 90 on first arch. Dorsal 67, its distance 

 from the occipital process | length of head, its distance from 

 the caudal 2 diameters of eye. Anal 53, narrowly separated 

 from the caudal. Pectoral not quite ^ length of head, the 

 spine finely serrated on the outer border, ^ the length of the 

 fin. Ventral a little nearer end of snout than caudal. Latter 

 nearly ^ length of head. Dark brown above, whitish be- 

 neath ; anal and caudal with a fine light edge. 



Total length 410 millim. 



A single specimen from the Kassam River at Awhorra 

 Mullka, Shoa, about 4000 feet, Feb. 7, 19:)2. 



This species, named after Dr. D. Vinciguerra, is closely 

 related to G. Rohecchii, Vincig., from which it is distinguished, 

 as well as from C. lazera and other species with granular 

 vomerine teeth, by the narrower head and by the shorter inter- 

 space between the occiput and the origin of the dorsal fin ; 

 the gill-rakers are more numerous than in C. Rohecchiiy 

 resembling those of C. lazera, in which the vomerine teeth 

 form a wider band.
