114 SOME CHINESE VERTEBRATES. 
D.3 +7, A.3 +82, V.9, P.17; Ll. 5317; Phar. teeth 5.4.2 | 2.4.4, 
These specimens are not as dark on the body or fins as that figured by 
Basilewsky, but the scales have the light centres surrounded by puncticulations 
of brown. Distally each of the fins is darker. The general effect of the color 
is silver rather than brown. Body keeled from the pectorals backward to the 
end of the anal base. Dorsal origin midway from end of snout to base of caudal. 
Kner’s figure does not represent the species very well, as it is too slender; the 
description is good. Basilewsky described the species from affluents of Chihli; 
Mr. Zappey secured it at Ichang. 
OPSARICHTHYS ACUTIPINNIS (Bleeker) Giinther. 
Barilius (Barilius) acutipinnis BLEEKER, 1871, Nat. verh. k. akad., 12, p. 81, pl. 18, f. 1. 
Opsariichthys acutipinnis and O. bidens Gint., 1873, Ann. mag. nat. hist., ser. 4, 12, p. 249. 
The figure of O. acutipinnis was made from a half grown specimen. The 
description of O. bidens also was drawn from a specimen not fully developed. 
The specimens at hand make it evident that O. bidens is a synonym. The 
notches of the jaws are very evident on some and hardly noticeable on others. 
There is much variation in individuals aside from the peculiar sexual changes 
in the fins and the tubercles of the cheeks. The pharyngeal teeth vary from 
4.2 to 4.38 and to 4.3.1. The difference in numbers of rays or of scales is not 
great. In the adult the markings on the fins and flanks are like those of O. 
platypus, but the interradial spots are more distinct, and on some the lower half 
of the face is blackish. 
Kiating, Min River. 
GarRRA (AGENEIOGARRA) IMBERBA, Subgen. nov. sp. nov. 
D. 13 (4 + 9), A. 8, V. 10, p. 17; Ll. 508, head to D. 17; Phar. teeth 5.4.2 | 
2.4.5, slender, pointed. 
Body elongate, greatest depth about equal to length of head or one seventh 
of the total length, compressed posteriorly, depressed and broadened in front. 
Head wider than deep, flattened below, slightly convex, both longitudinally 
and transversely, on the top. Snout very wide, short, broadly rounded across 
the end. Eye moderate, less than one fourth as long as the head and behind 
its mid length, in width of orbit less than half the interocular space. Nostrils 
close together, nearer to the eye than to the end of the snout. Snout without 
a lobe above, as in G. lamta, but with a group of pits at each side of the middle
