Type. Nearly complete fish ; Tiibingen University Museum. 
A large species, attaining a length of about 0'3. Length of head 
with opercular apparatus somewhat exceeding the maximum depth 
of the trunk, which equals about one-fifth of the total length of the 
fish. The rugose ornament of the head and opercular bones very 
fine, but conspicuous; maxilla and dentary longitudinally striated. 
Pelvic fins arising slightly in advance of the middle point of the 
trunk, with the dorsal fin directly opposed. Scales large and nearly 
smooth, but with a faint, coarse rugosity, most conspicuous in the 
caudal region; their hinder margin is very slightly convex and not 
serrated ; at least six longitudinal flank-series much deeper than 
broad.
