(without caudal), the length of the head more than one fourth. 

 Snout long and produced, with the upper profile concave, 

 much longer than the diameter of the eye, which is one fourth 

 of the length of the head. Mouth inferior, subsemicircular, 

 of moderate width ; jaws with broad lips, the inferior fringed 

 in the middle ; upper lip not fringed ; barbel as long as the 

 eye, compressed and rather stiff. Pra^orbital elongate, rhom- 

 boidal. The origin of the dorsal fin is midway between the 

 end of the snout and the first anal ray ; ventrals inserted 

 below the hinder half of the dorsal. Caudal fin deeply 

 forked. Pectoral fin inserted horizontally, as long as the 

 Lead, but not extending to the ventral. Transparent greenish 

 above, a narrow bluish band along the lateral line ; abdomen 

 silvery ; fins not spotted. 



Two specimens, of which the larger is 7 inches long, are 

 in the collection.

Barbels none. Body rather compressed, its greatest depth 

 being equal to the length of the head and one fourth of the 

 total (without caudal) ; snout rather compressed, of moderate 

 length, a little longer than the eye, the diameter of which is 

 nearly one fourth of the length of the head. Interorbital 

 space convex, as wide as the orbit. Mouth very small, sub- 

 anterior; lower lip interrupted in the middle. The origin of 

 the dorsal fin is nearer to the end of the snout than to the root 

 of the caudal ; ventrals inserted below the middle of the dor- 

 sal ; caudal fin moderately forked; pectoral not quite so long 

 as the head, extending to the origin of the dorsal fin, but not 

 to the root of the ventral. Silvery, with large, irregular, 

 deep black spots, each occupying one or more scales ; ante- 

 rior part of the dorsal fin and a band along each caudal lobe 

 black. 



Two specimens, the larger of which is 3 inches long, are 

 in the collection. 



This species would belong, on account of the absence of 

 barbels, to Bleeker's genus iSarcochilichthys.
