). Body elongate, laterally compressed. Snout short, profile moderately rounded. Eye small; pupil slightly elongate. Interorbital space slightly convex, naked. Head and body covered with scales. Predorsal scales reaching anterior end of orbit. Opercular margins scaleless. Last scale of anterior lateral line located just below base of 4th dorsal-fin soft ray. First scale of posterior lateral line located just above base of 2nd anal-fin soft ray. Head laterally compressed, mouth terminal, gape oblique; posterior margin of lower lip extending beyond vertical through that of upper lip; posterior margin of maxilla extending beyond vertical through anterior margin of orbit; teeth in jaws affixed to outer edge of bony ridge; 2 pairs of large, slender, curved canine teeth anteriorly in each jaw; 16-18 small conical teeth fixed posteriorly on each bony plate behind upper- and lower-jaw canine teeth. Tongue slender, rounded, its upper surface covered with small papillae. Gill rakers thick, short, compressed; rakers on upper limb slightly shorter than those on lower limb; gill membranes free from isthmus. Posterior end of pectoral fin not reaching anus. Pelvic-fin origin and dorsal-fin origin almost on same vertical. Caudal fin truncate, with central part of medium edge slightly rounded, and upper and lower rays elongate. 9th dorsal-fin spine and 7th soft dorsal-fin ray longest; 3rd anal-fin spine and 4th soft anal-fin ray longest; 1st pelvic-fin soft ray longest (Table
