Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt): 0; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt): 81-91; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 61 - 69. Second ray of dorsal fin very long, with a conspicuous dark, fringed broad membrane. First 3 or 4 dorsal fin rays generally blackish in adults but only the elongate second ray is dark in immature fishes.
