GENUS AGONOSTOMUS BENNETT The Dajaos This genus differs from Mugil chiefly in not having the stomach gizzard-like. Cleft of mouth extending laterally about1 to front of eye; teeth small, in villiform bands in each jaw, sometimes also on vomer; edge of lower lip rounded; anal spines usually 2, the first soft ray slender and often taken for a spine. Small, freshwater mullets found in mountain streams in tropical regions. The American species constitute the subgenus Dajans, characterized by the presence of teeth on the palatines. Four species have been recognized as occurring within our limits, none being of much importance as food. The dajao () is found in freshwater streams of the West Indies and eastern Mexico, and is the most abundant and best 256.
