There are about sixteen compressed teeth of moderate size 

 (about 2 lines) on each intermaxillary, and a group of three 

 on each side of the upper jaw in front, very large (about 6 or 7 

 lines) and curved backwards. As in Gem^yylus^ the ventrals 

 are so reduced as to be scarcely visible ; but there is a row of 

 seven or eight small conical teeth on each palate-bone, as in 

 Thyrsites. T. prometkeus, T. Solandri^ and T. jprometheoides^ 

 all have the ventrals reduced to one small spine ; and the latter 

 Amboyna species has also, according to Bleeker, the double 

 lateral line; but the proportions of the head and body and 

 number of the fin-rays completely distinguish the present 

 fish from them. 



The popular name is Tasmanian kingfish.
