Prceoper- culum with a distinct lower limb ; subopercubnn about twice as long as deep; pectoral lait little shorter than the head, exceeding in lenth one-half of the distance of its root from the ventral. Ventral terminating at a considerable distance from the vent. D. 13 ; the longest ray as long as the head (without snout). A. 12.
