Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| D. S. Jordan and J. Z. Gilbert 1920 | Head about 4 in length to base of caudal ; depth about 4%. Ver- tebrae longer longer than deep, rather smooth, each mesially constricted and with two ridges and three grooves ; the number probably 24 ( 16 preserved). Neural spines moderate, directed upward and backward, the anterior more curved and directed more backward; ribs strong.
Dorsal fin nearly continuous, the rays about IX, 17, not certainly counted ; first part of 8 to 10 slender spines, the third longest somewhat more than depth of body ; the others progressively shorter ; soft rays long, and apparently all short ; pectoral fin rather short, acute ; the upper rays longest, about 3 times in depth of body. Ventrals inserted just be- hind them; the fin, if correctly interpreted, a little longer than the pec- torals and of about 8 slender rays. Unfortunately this very exceptional character is uncertain as the fin as preserved may be a misplaced fin, possibly a pectoral from the other side. |
