Head 3.66 in length; depth 3.33; eye 4 in head; snout 4; interorbital 

 space 2.66 ; depth of caudal peduncle 2.40 ; height of dorsal 4.66 in length ; 

 anal 5. 75; length of pectoral 5.66; ventral 6; caudal 3.83; scales in lateral 

 line 33; between dorsal and occiput 15; between dorsal and ventral tins 

 10; D. 8; A. 7. Body deep and wide, deepest part anterior to insertion of 

 dorsal ; caudal peduncle long and slender ; snout blunt, rounded ; mouth 

 oblique; jaws equal; maxillary reaching to a vertical from posterior 

 nostril. Teeth 4-4, slender, hooked, grinding surface narrow, absent on 

 smallest tooth. Gill-rakers short, blunt; 9 on first arch. Intestinal canal 

 short, with but 1 convolution; peritoneum white, scales large, not 

 notably deeper than long; lateral line incomplete, extending only as far 

 as posterior edge of pectoral. Dorsal fin rounded, the second, third, and 

 fourth rays longest; anal fin similar in shape; ventral rounded, extend- 

 ing to vent, inserted directly under dorsal; pectoral rounded; caudal 

 forked, the lobes rounded. 



Color silvery, an indefinite dark band extending from tip of snout to 

 end of caudal peduncle; the band distinct on snout and caudal peduncle, 

 broader and almost obsolete on middle of body; top of head and a narrow 

 band on median dorsal part of body dark; ventral parts of body immacu- 

 late, except a narrow, dark band extending along base of anal and ventral 

 part of caudal peduncle; chin white; scales on upper parts with dark 

 edges; dorsal and caudal fins slightly dusky; other fins lighter. 



This species is of small size, the mature males measuring about 34 mm. 

 in length of body ; the females 43. The males are more slender and have 

 a little less dark color on the body. The affinities of Ifotropis calientis are 

 with Notropis cayuya, jordani, and others of the subgenus Chriope. The 

 species may be distinguished by its small eye, short, rounded snout, deep 

 body, short lateral line, and rounded fins. (Jordan & Snyder.)

Page 965. The generic name Rhombus was first used by Humphreys in 

 1797 for a genus of mollusks, and can not therefore be used in fishes. Its 

 place in fishes will be taken by Peprilus Cuvier (1817).
