All specimens have had their bel- ly cut and the viscera removed, and the colouration is rather faded. The holotype is apparently a breeding female judging from the swollen genital papilla and the more contrasting colouration, especially the black ventral fins. The larger male has had its branchial apparatus demolished, and was thus less suitable as refer- ence specimen. Body moderately elongate. Head moderately deep. Predorsal contour very lit- tle arched or straight from dorsal fin origin or occiput, an inconspicuous notch be- tween orbits. Preventral head contour about as steep, arched. Snout rather short, rounded, profiles about equal. Orbit tangential. Tip of maxilla exposed, to about anterior margin of orbit. Preoperculum entire. Predorsal scales cycloid, laterally posteriorwards to between preoperculum and dorsal fin origin, beyond latter 4 scales close to dorsal fin base. Dorsal operc- ular and posterior cheek scales ctenoid. Squ. prd. 9—10; squ. prv. 8 (possible to.
