  A 
  large 
  robust 
  species, 
  attaining 
  a 
  length 
  of 
  about 
  04. 
  Length 
  

   of 
  head 
  with 
  opercular 
  apparatus 
  somewhat 
  less 
  than 
  the 
  maximum 
  

   depth 
  of 
  the 
  trunk, 
  which 
  equals 
  about 
  one-quarter 
  of 
  the 
  total 
  

   length 
  of 
  the 
  fish. 
  Head 
  and 
  opercular 
  bones 
  very 
  finely 
  rugose 
  ; 
  

   maxilla 
  very 
  conspicuously 
  ornamented, 
  the 
  rugse 
  chiefly 
  longitudinal 
  

   and 
  in 
  part 
  reticulated 
  ; 
  angle 
  of 
  preoperculum 
  with 
  feeble 
  radiating 
  

   ridges; 
  teeth 
  comparatively 
  robust, 
  obtusely 
  pointed. 
  Fin-rays 
  

   very 
  stout, 
  smooth 
  or 
  delicately 
  rugose 
  ; 
  fulcra 
  conspicuous. 
  Pelvic 
  

   fins 
  arising 
  far 
  in 
  advance 
  of 
  the 
  middle 
  point 
  of 
  the 
  trunk, 
  and 
  the 
  

   dorsal 
  fin 
  opposed 
  to 
  them. 
  Scales 
  large, 
  ornamented 
  with 
  fine 
  

   oblique 
  striations, 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  radiating, 
  and 
  terminating 
  at 
  the 
  

   hinder 
  margin 
  in 
  prominent 
  denticulations 
  ; 
  several 
  series 
  of 
  flank- 
  

   scales 
  deeper 
  than 
  broad 
  ; 
  the 
  orifices 
  of 
  the 
  lateral 
  line 
  incon- 
  

   spicuous, 
  and 
  the 
  ornament 
  on 
  the 
  caudal 
  region 
  becoming 
  feeble. 
  

  

  The 
  synonymy 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  is 
  given 
  in 
  accordance 
  with 
  the 
  

   researches 
  of 
  Wagner 
  and 
  Yetter.
