The height of the body is two-sevenths of the total length ; snout obtuse, much 
shorter than the diameter of the orbit, the width of which is more than that of the in- 
terorbital space. There are only six small incisors anteriorly in the upper jaw, and 
eight in the lower, the lateral teeth being very small. Prseorbital very narrow and not 
serrated ; operculum with two spines. The scales on the upper side of the head do not 
advance to the front margin of the orbit. Of the dorsal spines, the fourth, fifth, and 
sixth are the longest, the posterior ones being a little shorter ; the soft portion of the 
anal and the caudal lobes are produced into points. 
Colour pale bluish above, white below, the scales being marked with darker-blue 
elongated spots arranged so as to form longitudinal lines. A deep-black spot supe- 
riorly at the axil of the pectoral. 
Length 2 to 4 inches.
