The ground colour is pale cinnamon of uniform intensity throughout : 

 the markings are straw-coloured, broadly margined with black, and con- 

 sist of a rounded spot which occupies the tip of the nose; a second spot 

 on the middle of the head descending on each side to the upper part of 

 the orbits; a fascia at the commencement of the dorsal fin, which it 

 crosses, and descends in a lozenge form as low as the pectoral fin on each 

 side; another /ascm, much shorter than the preceding, crossing like it 

 the dorsal fin, but rounded at its extremity; and a third fascia, of equal 

 length with the second, occupying the termination of the dorsal fin, but 

 not extending to its upper edge. The dorsal and anal fins have a very 

 narrow black margin, and the external ray of the ventral is also black. 

 The caudal fin is rounded and unspotted. 



Length 3 inches, breadth 1 inch.

 eventually lead to their distinction as a subgenus.

The rays of the dorsal fin are of equal length throughout, the spinous 

 ones, about nine in number, being scarcely distinguishable from the soft 

 ones which succeed them. The caudal fin is rounded. The lateral lines 

 are two in number: they are without branches; the superior one termi-
