Fig. 2.—Aetiasis cantharoides n. g., n. sp. a, Head; b, inner view of right dentary bone, cleaned to show teeth; c, ventral view of right premaxilla, cleaned; d, dorsal view of right dentary, cleaned; e, vomer and palatines; /, left upper pharyngeal, anterior end above; g, left lower pharyngeal, anterior end below (inner margin (median line) to left in both/ and g). width slightly more than 1J times eye. Preorbital (opposite end of maxilla) J the long diameter of eye. Greatest depth of caudal peduncle (between ends of bases of dorsal and anal fins) subequal to length along its dorsal profile, 1J times length of its ventral profile, least depth (at base of caudal) twice in greatest depth. A very small notch near the angle of preopercle, which is not denticulate. One short flat spine (not prominent) on opercle. D XII 7 (possibly XIII 6, the posterior spines and anterior rays.
