An Account of the Fishes obtained by Surgeon‐Major A. S. G. Jayakar at Muscat, East Coast of Arabia

Abstract

thorax do not appear at all punctured, even under the microscope ; the eyes are moderate in size and in their granulation.The thorax is quite twice as wide as long, the margin thick and reflexed, the outer edge of the basal suture forms a ridge, so that the space between this and the margin appears hollowed out.The basal margin is sinuate, with a broad median lobe, and with a fine marginal line.The elytra are uniformly punctured, their margin somewhat expanded, with a row of larger punctures, or small foveae, evanescent towards the apex.The clothing is formed of rather sparse, ragged hairs, without any pubescence between them.The tarsi are simple, long and thin.The humeral callus rather strongly raised.Two specimens, both taken in mountain-districts at over two thousand feet elevation,
