Prepelvic area covered with cycloid scales in about 7–12 rows in Australian material, up to 16 in specimens from Bangladesh, ending usually behind posterior preopercular margin, with large naked area anteriorly, about one–third to one–half in Australian material, sides of isthmus often naked; pectoral fin base partly scaled, mainly with scales on central region of base in young, largely scaled in larger adults anteriorly, but not reaching to base of pectoral fin–rays in about 1–10 horizontal rows, often naked, or with few scales centrally, rarely reaching to bases of pectoral rays; prepelvic area about half scaled not reaching forward to below or just behind posterior preopercular margin. Pectoral rays 15–21, usually 17–20, varying between populations; predorsal scale count 15–21 in Australia, varying between populations, 15–24 from populations outside of Australia; transverse scale count (TRB) 8.5–10.5, usually 8.5–9.5. Gill rakers on outer face of first arch 1–2+1+6–9, usually 1–2+1+7–8; lower gill rakers on outer face of second arch 7–10; branched caudal rays 12–14. First dorsal spines often with black tips and black often on membranes between spines. Tip of urogenital papilla of female with a thin line of melanophores. Mental frenum uniformly pigmented, usually dark brown, rarely with pigment more intense at margin, central portion often covered with mucous and can appear darker at edges, lower surface of head usually with two large dark brown spots behind mental frenum, often with a thin line of brown pigment connecting two spots; body without thin dark brown stripes or with one to three very faint brown stripes, rarely with dark brown broken stripes (Plate 1); brown spots on midside variable, horizontally elongate to round (Figures 15–30). <b>Description</b>: Based on over 400 specimens from Australian, 30–192 mm SL. Data from other localities listed separately. First dorsal spines 6(45); Maitland and Fortescue River Systems I,8(16), I,9(43); anal rays I,7(2); I,8(41), I,9(6); other localities: second dorsal rays I,8 (2), I,9(45), I,10(2); anal rays I,7 (1), I,8(47), I,8(1); longitudinal scale count (LSC) 29(14), 30(25), 31(16), 32(4); LSC South Africa 29(3), 30(4), LSC Bangladesh 30(1), 31(2), 32(1), LSC Madagascar 29(1), 30(3), 31(1); segmented caudal segmented caudal rays 9/8(43); branched caudal rays 12(13), 13(11), 14(34); vertebrae 11+16(4), 10+17(8). Mouth large; reaching to below a point approximately below anterior margin of eye in specimens up to 100 mm SL and to below middle of pupil in larger adults; jaws forming an angle of 28–32° with body axis; upper margin of upper jaw in line with middle to lower margin of eye. Cheeks narrow, tapering in dorsal view, rarely slightly bulbous. Interorbital narrow, less than eye diameter to about equal to eye diameter. Head moderate, proportion increasing with size, 28.8–30.9% SL in specimens from 50–70 mm SL, 30.0–32.9% SL in specimens 71–100 mm SL, 30.2–33.6% SL in specimens 101–140 mm SL, predicted mean varying from 30.6–32.3% SL over size range examined. Snout broadly rounded in dorsal view; with a notch in side view from upper extension of ascending process of premaxilla well in front of eye; 8.5–12% SL. Eye about 2–3 in snout, 6–7.8% SL in specimens below 70 mm SL, 4.6–6.8% SL in specimens above 70 mm SL, relative proportion decreasing with size. Upper jaw 10.4–12.7% SL in specimens below 70 mm SL, 11.4–14.6% SL in specimens above 70 mm SL. Small bump below nostrils absent or
