All very similar and differ from all the other series in their coloration, which more resembles Weber and Beaufort's figures. They usually show a more or less underlaid or leaden streak from the suprascapula to the caudal base medially, where always a blackish spot. In this line usually a spot above pectoral ill defined, often as a horizontal bar, often 2 spots below dorsal and frequently 2 behind dorsal. Spot at dorsal base and at anal base not always present. The sjKJts all vary greatly, even on different sides of same specimen. They seem to have a more or less uniform pattern and seem different from the rest of my series. Known to the Moros as "Odan"..
