Length of head 1/5, of caudal 1/5, height of body 2/7, of dorsal 

 fin 1/6 of the total length. — JEyes : diameter 2/5 of length of head, 2/3 of 

 a diameter from end of snout, 1 diameter apart. Third suborbital bone 

 twice as broad as the uncovered portion of the cheek below it. Humeral 

 process slightly developed. The posterior extremity of the maxilla reaches 

 to beneath the anterior third of the orbit. — Fins : the dorsal commences 

 rather nearer the snout than the base of the caudal, its posterior rays, when 

 laid flat, merely reach half way to the base of the caudal fin.— Lateral line : 

 1\ rows of scales between it and the base of the ventral fin. — Colours : nine 

 bluish black vertical bands on the body. Dorsal and caudal fins tipped with 

 black.
