Lateral line with a row of larger scales, ex- 
tending far beyond base of middle caudal ray. 
Ventrals (Fig. IC) always represented by a 
single spine, becoming shorter with the 
growth of the fish (in the smallest one, meas- 
uring 211.5 mm., the spine being 1.23 times 
as long as eye, and anterior edge armed with 
a row of minute and blunt spines). 
Gill rakers moderately large but mostly 
hidden under skin (as in other species of this 
group), each tricuspid and armed with several 
small spines, except for one at angle, which 
is T-shaped and about one third exposed; 
bony part of gill arch rather thickly covered 
with small accessory circular rakers, which 
are densely covered with small prickles (Fig. 
2B).
