Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 0; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 17; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 0; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 11 - 13. Body deepest ahead of dorsal fin. Head depressed and bony, mouth large, teeth conical, recurved and mostly depressible (Ref. 39983). Preserved specimens, dark ventrally (Ref. 11228).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
