Tube like nostril. Fig. 8.Ventral, dorsal and side view. Head of nape have slightly free sensory neuromasts. A row of pores across head present at the back of mouth. Lateral line pores were not visibly clear. Gill opening relatively wide and narrow. Well developed vertical fins. Origin of dorsal fin well develops at the back of pectoral fin. Pre dorsal distance (250.0 mm), about one fifth of entire body length. Dorsal as well as anal fins mutually ended a short distance earlier than tail tilt. Well developed Pectoral fin (35.0 mm) and its length was 26.71 % of head extent. Pectoral fin bottom was restricted to upper half of gill aperture which is approximately half of fin distance end to end. Pelvic and caudal fins were missing. Color of dorsal part of body was light brownish golden by unequal dark brown blotches. Ventral surface was yellowish. Fins were blackish grey.
