Length of head nearly 1/5, of caudal 2/9, height of body 2/7 of the 
total length. Eyes, diameter 1/6 of length of head, 2^ diameters from the 
end of the snout, and slightly nearer the posterior margin of the opercle 
than to the end of the snout. L lead compressed, snout projecting over the 
mouth and having a deep groove passing from one orbit to the opposite one, 
thus occasioning the appearance as if there were a blunt compressed knob, 
between and before the orbits. Mouth transverse. The lips with a distinct 
inner hold at the angle of the mouth and extending across the outer third of 
the lower jaw, from which the tip is reflected and rough, but neither are 
fringed. Some large pores on the snout, forehead and in the rostral 
groove. Barbels, a fine maxillary pair. Fins, dorsal without any osseus 
ray, arising midway between the snout and the posterior extremity of 
the base of the anal fin, its anterior three rays are much elevated and 
higher than the body, the last besides being divided to its root, being also 
somewhat prolonged, so the upper margin of the fin is concave. Ventrals 
arise under the middle of the dorsal and scarcely reach the anal. Pectoral 
as long as the head. Caudal deeply forked. Lateral line complete to the 
centre of the base of the caudal, but very badly marked, 4^ rows of scales 
between it and the base of the ventral fin. Colours silvery with some red 
marks on some of the scales.
