A specios attaining a length of about 0-1, perhaps some ' hat 
larger. Length of head with opercular apparatus S01D ® one 
exceeding the maximum depth of the trunk and equalh'in 
quarter of the total length of the fish. Vertebrae approximate y 
in number, about half abdominal, half caudal. Dorsal s _ l ° j ia0 
deeper than long, with from 12 to 14 rays, and its origin les s 
twice as remote from the base of the caudal fin as from the oC ® ^ 
pelvic fins arising opposite the anterior half of the dorsal, a „ 
between the pectorals and the anal ; the latter fin loss elevate 
the dorsal, with about 20 rays and extending close to the c .‘ 
Ventral ridge-scales with very prominent backwardly-directe P 
about 22 in number.
