Color in alcohol, silvery on the sides; brown on the back, becom- ing darker anteriorly; blackish on the under surface of the trunk and head, and on the jaws, which, however, are whitish about the corners of the mouth. There is a dark streak along the front margin of the snout, and another at the occiput. The first dorsal fin is dusky proximally, but lacks the deep black spot of nigrodorsalis and -peter- sonii; the base and axil of the pectoral fin are black; the ventral fin is almost black in the type and in some paratypes, but usually is dusky, becoming blackish proximally. The lining of the buccal cavity is mostly whitish; that of the branchial cavity mostly black- ish brown, but whitish over most of the hyoid arch and on the ex- treme free edge of the branchiostegal and opercular membranes. The parietal peritoneum is silvery, with brownish Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original United States National Museum; Smithsonian Institution; United States.
