upper jaw overlapping the lower. Maxillary barbels a little 

 shorter than eye. Origin of dorsal opposite to I2th scale of 

 lateral line, somewhat behind that of ventrals, separated by 

 about 12 scales from occiput. Dorsal emarginate, the fourth 

 osseous spine is of moderate strength and finely serrated, with 

 its flexible portion somewhat longer than head. Anal emarginate, 

 its height conspicuously less than that of dorsal. Pectorals 

 about equal to ventrals, longer than head without snout. Four 

 series of scales between root of ventrals and lateral line. Pec- 

 torals reaching ventrals; ventrals not reaching anal. Caudal 

 forked, its lobes pointed, longer than head. Least height of 

 caudal peduncle twice in length of head, 1.6 in its own length, 

 surrounded by 12 14 scales. Colour according to BLEEKER: 

 base of most scales of back, sides and tail with a transverse 

 narrow brownish patch. A round blackish spot on the end 

 of the lateral line. Length 113 mm.
