duri punggung lunak (Keseluruhan (total)) : 60 - 71; Sirip dubur lunak: 41 - 52; vertebrata, bertulang belakang: 38 - 40. Diagnosis: Blunt snout; small distinct eyes, 1.4-1.9% SL in adults; head naked, body covered with imbricate scales; interorbital in adults 5.6-7.7% SL; posterior infraorbital pores 2; rays in dorsal fin 60-71, anal 41-52, caudal 12-15; otolith with fused colliculi; sulcus small; 1 pair of pseudoclaspers with 2 almost equally long supporters (Ref. 55786).
Burrows in soft mud bottoms at shallow depths (0.7-6 m) of quiet lagoons, backwaters and saline parts of estuaries (Ref. 7251, 55786). Reported to give birth to very few, about 15 mm long juveniles in each clutch; one female found to have four 5-8 mm long embryos and has a 3.2 mm bivalve in the intestine (Ref. 55786). Probably common where it occurs (Ref. 34024).
