This species forms the type of the genus Schilbeichthys, Bleeker, 
which differs from the Pseudeutropius chiefly in having no second 
or adipose dorsal fin. 
I have taken a large number of the young of this species from 4 
to 9 inches in length, and find that the adipose dorsal, though small, 
is distinct in the fry; but as the size of the specimens increases up 
to 6 or 7 inches it has either almost or entirely disappeared, and is 
invariably absent in the adult. 
I therefore consider the species to be a Pseudeutropius ; for the 
difference which exists in the nostrils between it and some others of 
the genus is insufficient for more than a specific division.
