vol. xi. p. 491, pi. xi. fig. 4. 
Type. Imperfect fish. 
A small species, attaining a length of about OT. Length of head 
with opercular apparatus contained about four and a half times, and 
maximum depth of trunk between six and seven times in the total 
length of the fish. Width of orbit about equalling length of snout, 
and one third the total length of the bead with opercular apparatus. 
Yertebrse from 45 to 50 in number. Pelvic fins arising much 
nearer to the pectorals than to the anal and far in advance of the 
anterior dorsal, which seems to comprise only four or five spinous 
rays and is almost as far from the occiput as from the tail. The 
distance between the origin of the two dorsal fins somewhat less 
than that between the origin of the posterior dorsal and the caudal 
fin ; anal fin arising somewhat in advance of the posterior dorsal. 
Scales not crenulated,^probably about 45 in a longitudinal, 10 in a 
transverse series.
