1 Counts from Eigenmann (1920). 
2 The counts on this species have been brought in line with those made by Eigenmann, it is thought, by 
adding the simple and branched rays. However, Eigenmann may not have counted all four simple rays, 
and if he did not include the first one, which is more or less embedded, then these counts should each be 
reduced. by one to bring them in line with Eigenmann’s. 
3 Counts from Giinther (1868) and Fowler (1939). 
4 Counts from Giinvher (1864).

peduncle; distance from tip of snout to anal origin equal to distance 
from anal origin to base of last fourth to sixth anal rays; dorsal 
origin usually a very little closer to tip of snout than midbase of caudal 
fin; posterior edge maxillary reaches to under front of pupil (young) 
or to past middle of pupil in adults; front of upper jaw with four 
external toothlike projections and lower jaw with two such bony 
projections; origin of dorsal over about the third or fourth branched 
ray of anal fin. Usually the first branched ray of the dorsal fin 
longest, last ray shortest, about one-fifth the length of the first; last 
simple or first branched rays of anal fin longest, those following 
gradually a little shorter, the margin of anal fin nearly straight; first 
rays of paired fins longest; pectoral fins reach to anal origin and pelvic 
to base of fifth branched ray of anal fin; upper and lower lobes of 
caudal fin nearly equal in length and deeply forked; length of caudal
