Snout short, slightly exceeding diameter of eye, 31^0 in head, median ridge and nasal ridges terminating each in a much projecting point, furnishing each with a short rosetce of radiating spines and ridges, outline between these points joncave; tip of snout projecting beyond premaxillaries for a distance equaling that which separates the central rosette from 1 of the lateral ones; infraorbital ridges inconspicuous, not reaching angle of preopercle behind or bony portion in front. Mouth large, slightly oblique, with extensive lateral cleft, the maxillary reaching vertical from posterior mar- gin of pupil, 2'i in head, equaling distance from tip of snout to middle of eye. Outer series of teeth in preniaxillary strong, succeeding from a nar- row band of smaller cardiform teeth; mandibular teeth similar to inner band of upper jaw, the band becoming slightly wider at the prominent symphysis. Barbel short, ^ to | length of snout. P]ye large, the diann^ter of orbit slightly less than int number of short rigid spinules directed very obliqui'ly backward, the post
