This new species which I head the honour to dedi- 
cate to the eminent Ichtliyologist Prof. C. H. Eigenmann, 
is nearly allied to C.punctatus from which it however 
differs by the size of the eyes and by its colouring; 
the latter although very irregular in its drawing is very 
constant in the numerous specimens I had occasion to exa¬ 
mine, not only the adults, but also the immature ones. 
Type: Numerous specimens of the more immature 
to such of 85 mm. from the riverlets by Cubatão and 
Paiz da Serra, State of S. Paulo.*
