Short description
Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale): 0; Spine anali 0; Raggi anali molli: 41 - 46. Belly with 25 to 27 keeled scutes from isthmus to anus. Tip of snout a little above level of eye center. Maxilla long, reaching to pectoral fin base; first supra-maxilla minute, oval; teeth in jaws enlarged. Tip of first pectoral fin ray elongated into a short filament.
