and additional specimens summarized in Table 1. Meristic and morphometric data based on all lots examined since no statistical differences were found among populations studied from different localities. Body comparatively large (SL = 84-180 mm SL) and anteriorly deep. Dorsal body profile concave at nape, rising sharply in supraoccipital region, strongly convex from this point to dorsal-fin origin, nearly straight along dorsal-fin base, and very slightly convex from dorsal-fin termination to caudal peduncle. Ventral body profile continuously convex from tip of lower jaw to anal-fin origin, straight or nearly so and dorsally inclined along anal-fin base, slightly concave from anal-fin termination to origin of procurrent caudal-fin rays. Snout conical, shorter than orbital diameter. Lower jaw included in upper jaw when mouth is entirely closed. Maxilla extending slightly beyond vertical crossing posterior border of orbit.

<paragraph id="66BB68820E032379D428936B27D44319" pageNumber="58">Dorsal-fin rays ii, 9. Posteriormost ray branched. Adipose fin present. Anal-fin unbranched rays iv-v (iv), usually iv, branched rays 39-45 (43), 41.4, posteriormost ray split to its base and counted as 1. Weakly developed anterior anal-fin lobe including anterior unbranched rays and first 7-9 branched rays. Anal fin of sexually mature males with bilateral hooks on posteriormost unbranched and posterior part of anterior 12-35 branched rays, the number of hooks per ray ranging from 1 to 20. Pectoral-fin rays i, 14-16 (i,14), i,15. Posterior tips of longest pectoral-fin rays reaching beyond pelvic fin origin but not middle of fin. Pelvic-fin rays i,7. No hooks on pelvic-fin rays of sexually mature males. Distal tips of longest pelvic-fin rays not reaching or reaching just slightly beyond anal-fin origin in some specimens. Principal caudal-fin ray count 10/9 in all specimens.</paragraph>

Anterior canine exposed outside anterior border of lower jaw when mouth closed. Outer row small conical teeth 6-8 (7), 7.4. Maxillary teeth 46-63 (52) 54, highly variable in number but no evidence of increase in number with increase in standard length. Dentary with one row of conical teeth of which four anteriormost spaced, third large canine, first and fourth canines about same size and second small conical tooth; these followed by posterior row of close-set smaller conical teeth with no clear evidence of increase in number with increase in standard length.

Body pale yellow, slightly darker dorsally than ventrally due to presence of dark chromatophores especially along free border of dorsal scales. Snout and upper part of head darker than remaining dorsal surface of body. Premaxilla, anterior part of maxilla and antero-superior part of lower jaw densely pigmented with dark chromatophores. Humeral black blotch slightly elongate vertically, lower portion broader than upper in some specimens, anterior and posterior margins irregularly shaped. Lateral dark body stripe extending from behind upper part of opercle to caudal peduncle where fused to rounded black blotch of caudal base. Lateral body stripe narrower anteriorly and posteriorly, sometimes entirely obscured by guanine. Pectoral, pelvic, dorsal, caudal and adipose fins pale, with scattered dark chromatophores.</paragraph>
