Body humpbacked, [depth above occi- put times in SL or greater than depth at anal-fin origin]. Titmk rather long, preanal SL. [Dorsal and anal fins overlap V2 of caudal]. Anal-fin origin below about 8th dorsal-fin ray. Anus be- tween bases of lower pectoral-fin lobes. Small urogenital papilla present [in male]. Pyloric ceca short, flat, and blunt. Head in SL, width unknown. Depth at occiput slightly larger than head length (107% HL), anterodorsal profile evenly sloping, slightly concave. Snout about equal to eye diameter. Nostril with slightly raised rim [level with eye center]. Eye times in HL. Mouth superior, distinctly oblique, forming an angle of about 50° to horizontal. [Symphysis of upper jaw level with eye center.] Maxillary reaching verti- cal at anterior V2 of eye [mouth cleft to vertical at nostril]. Symphyseal knob pre- sent. "Teeth in both jaws simple, moder- ately stout, slightly recurved. Upper jaw teeth in irregular oblique rows forming narrow band less than four teeth wide, uniserial posteriorly; mandibular teeth in about 13 oblique rows forming band sim- ilar to upper jaw. Suborbital bones extend anteriorly forming distinct projections above snout on either side of upper jaw" (Stein 1979: 7). [Chin low, lower jaw not massive. Prominent tip of lower jaw (re- troarticular process) angled at ca. 90° and on vertical to posterior margin of eye.] Gill slit [vertical, about equal to eye di- ameter], completely above pectoral fin base [dorsal end level with lower margin of eye; ventral end level with lower % of subocular space]. Opercular flap small tri- angular [operculum post
