the caudal fin. Pelvic fins arising within the anterior third of the 
space between the pectoral and anal fins, and when adpressed not 
reaching the latter ; each pelvic fin comprising 8 rays of which all 
are divided and articulated except the anterior two, which are the 
longest and closely articulated without branching distally. Dorsal 
fin with 12 rays, the foremost shortest and apparently undivided, 
the others both divided and articulated distally. Anal fin with 2 
comparatively short undivided rays in front, followed by 7 divided 
rays, separated from the caudal fin by a space equal in length to its 
own base-line. Tubercles on the scutes of the dorsal ridge between 
the fin and the occiput produced into small acute points.

Somewhat smaller than the type species. Length of head with 
opercular apparatus contained about three and a half times in the 
length of the trunk from the pectoral arch to the base of the caudal 
fin Yertebrse about 26 in number in the abdominal, 21 in the 
caudal region. Pectoral fins when adpressed to the trunk extending 
beyond the insertion of the pelvic pair, and comprising about 16 
delicate divided rays; pelvic fins situated probably as in the type 
species and resembling the latter except in having only 7 rays ; 
dorsal fin also apparently as in the type species.
