Like Be1one robusta Gtinther with weak keel to tail, broad as deep, lower 
dorsal and anal posterior rays, only under edge of upper jaw visible, small 
adherent scales, forked caudal and similarly placed ventral. Belong choram 
has hind dorsal and anal rays somewhat longer,—also with different ray lengths. 
Belone liuroides has larger scales, longer head, color as usual, dorsal and 
pectoral somewhat dark. Belone gavialoides is little known though without 
lateral caudal keel#
