reaching to vertical through center of pupil, its posterior border broad, three-fourths of eye; mouth 
oblique; a triangular patch of strong granular teeth on vomer, a single series on palatines, small 
granular teeth on tongue, an outer series of enlarged teeth on upper jaw, a single series of pointed 
teeth on lower jaw; body completely scaled, bases of soft dorsal and anal both sheathed; cheeks and 
upper part of opercle scaled, remainder of head naked; lateral line strongly arched, the arched portion 
ending about under fifth soft dorsal ray; armed portion of lateral line straight with 32 armed scutes, 
the majority of which are large, the largest being 0.65 diameter of eye; dorsal with one procumbent 
spine; third dorsal spine longest (broken in type), 2.2 in head; soft dorsal elevated, longest rays 1.8 in 
head; base of soft dorsal 2.5 in body to base of caudal; soft anal of similar form, but with shorter base 
and with shorter elevated rays; caudal forked, lobes about equal; pectoral falcate, length about 
equaling head, tip of ventral reaching just past vent and halfway to origin of soft dorsal. 
Color in alcohol, bright silvery, darker above, with 5 indistinct vertical dark bands nearly as wide 
as eye; on upper three-fourths of body, a sixth, less distinct showing on caudle peduncle; no opercular 
spot; fins plain except elevated portions of soft dorsal and anal, which are tipped with black. 
This description is based upon the type, No. 50711, U. S. N. M., a specimen 5.5 inches in length, 
collected by the Albatross at Honolulu in 1896.
