suprapectoral close below lateral line and over first pectoral; 2 sub- 
pectorals, lower below pectoral fin origin opposite bases of median 
pectoral fin rays, upper subpectoral midway between lateral line and 
pectoral fin origin over lower; ventrals ?; 7 f 4 anals, all at same 
level and equidistant, posteroanals behind anal fin base; 2 supraanala, first 
or lower at last third between ventral and anal fin origins level with 
first enteroanal, second before anal fin origin and midway in space 
below lateral line; 1 posterolateral, behind last anteroanal and slightly
