362. GILA SEMINUDA, Cope & Yarrow. 



Head 5 ; depth 5f ; eye 4. D. 10 j A. 10 ; scales 21-98-12 ; teeth 2, 5-4, 2. 

 Body moderately deep, with slender and tapering caudal peduncle, the 

 least depth of which is about one-third its length. Back little elevated, 

 not arched in front of dorsal. Head small, transversely convex, its pro- 

 file continuous with that of the back and not concave. Mouth rather 

 small, oblique, terminal, upper lip opposite the middle of orbit, the max- 

 illary not reaching line of orbit. Eye large, rather anterior, but not 

 very low. Fins moderate. Dorsal slightly behind ventrals. Brownish 

 above, lower fins pink. Length 6 inches. Rio Virgen, in Utah, (Cope). 

 Not seen by us. This species forms a transition to Leucisctis and other 

 normally formed Cyprinidw. (seminudus, half naked.)

Body oblong, compressed or robust, covered with moderate or small scales. 

 Lateral line decurved, complete, or variously imperfect. Mouth usually 

 large and terminal, the lips normal, without barbel. Teeth mostly 2, 5-4, 2 } 

 (in American species sometimes 1, 5-4, 2, or even by atrophy, 1,4-4,1), 



* The ventral carination, used in the Synopsis as the distinctive character of Richardson in*, 

 has no real existence except in specimens shrunken by alcohol; the narrow belly is rounded in 

 cross section, fully scaled over, and without keel.
