Head and anterior part of body depressed, postanal portion longish, fusiform. 
Snout and ocular region of head compressed with rather steep profile contour of 
eyes. Depth of body 5 to 5 1 / 3 in larger, about 6 times in younger specimens in

out caudal. Diameter of eye in large specimens 4V4 times, in small about 3 times 
in length of head. Snout about equal to diameter of eye. Interorbital width very
