This is a very handsome species, having a duck-green 
colour, with two lake-red stripes, commencing at the 
gill-opening and uniting opposite the end of the dorsal 
to form a single broader stripe, which is continued into 
the caudal fin. These stripes are bordered on both sides 
by dotted lines of plum-blue; and there are also five rows 
of blue spots on the sides of the belly, and three rows 
near the base of the anal fin, on a lake-red ground. 
Several purple lines radiate from all sides of the orbit, 
and some pass over the preoperculum, intcroperculum, 
and lower jaw. The dorsal is dark purple, with green 
at the base of the rays, and an orange band at the tips, 
spotted and finally edged with blue. The anal has an 
orange streak along its base, then a broad primrose- 
yellow band edged above and below by a narrow blue 
line, next a broad band of purple with many very regular 
blue spots, and finally a narrow blue edging. The 
caudal is purple, with many plum-blue spots near its 
extremity in a vertical band. The other fins are appa¬ 
rently colourless. The aspect of the fish is that of a 
Julis , but the operculum and cheeks are scaly.

This is an example of a genus which had not previously 
been detected in the southern hemisphere. It has the 
general form of Lepidoleprus ccelorhynchus, but there are 
abundant specific differences, especially in the relative 
size of the fins, and in the arming of the scales, which in 
the Antarctic fish consists of rows of closely-incumbent
