Depth 11 1/3 to 11 3/5, body little compressed, 
robust, sides convex; head 2 4/5 to 2 7/8, head from 
snout tip 5 to 5 1/5, width 2 3/4 to 3 1/8 in its length, 
6 l/5 to 6g in its length from mandible tip. Snout 2 2/5 
to 2§ in head from snout tip; eye 4 1/5 to 4 1/3, 1 2/3 to 
1 4/5 in snout, 1 to 1 1/8 in interorbital, 1 4/5 to 1 7/8 
in postocular; maxillary reaches 5/6 to 7/8 to eye, 
length 2 7/8 to 3 in head from snout tip; interorbital

lanceolate, i of gill filaments, which in eye. 
Scales 81 or 82 in axial lateral series from 
gill opening to caudal base, and 5 or 6 more on latter; 
8 scales above lateral line to dorsal origin, 2 below 
to anal origin; 65 to 68 predorsal forward to occiput. 
Scales very caducous, most all fallen, so only pockets 
counted. Dorsal and anal largely with small scales 
basally, also caudal. Scales with 4 to 11 short niafginal

only slightly longer; least depth of caudal peduncle 5 to 
5 1/8, compressed; pectoral 1 3/5 to 1 3/4; ventral 3 1/3
