Trunk highest at nape; dorsal profile of body and tail sectors sloping in nearly a straight line from nape to caudal peduncle. Dorsal fin a little higher anteriorly than posteriorly, its margin very weakly convex; anal opposite dorsal and similar to dorsal in outline. Caudal (somewhat damaged) apjmrently truncate or nearly so; lateral line with 14 large oval pores from nape to base of caudal, the anterior margin of the pores without rearward extending flap. Teeth along entire length of each jaw in 3 continuous rows, those in the row next the gum nuicli the shortest and those in the row farthest from the gum mudi the longest. Color. General ground tint sooty black, the eyes blue, the outer parts of the unpaired fins chocolate brown, the teeth ivory white, the inside of tlie mouth pale gray. Size. The type (and only known) specimen is 51 mm in stand- ard length. Rouge.
