The body is more arched, and the tail has a bend downwards; the lateral line conspicuous, and very slightly 
curve ; the abdomen not serrated.

golden, but not striate, and there is no black spot.

In the form of the body and disposition of the fins, as well as in other characters, this species agrees with the 
last described. It differs in the following: the lower jaw is thicker, shorter and truncate; the upper has no 
reverted process; the branchial membrane has six rays only; the eyes are much larger; and the lateral line, 
instead of being arched, bends a little downwards. 
The Jins are nearly of the same shape as in the last species; but the first ray of the pectoral is a remarkable 
flat, broad, ossicle, with a ramous point; and the ramous rays of the fins are more unequal in length. The 
caudal fin bifid, as usual.
