Caudal peduncle 1.2-1.5 times as long as deep (Ref. 1878, 93833). Snout obtusely pointed, projecting very slightly beyond lower jaw, not quite as long as eye, which is 3 times in head length and slightly exceeds interorbital width; adipose eyelid feebly developed; maxillary extending to below anterior third of eye; no strongly enlarged teeth (Ref. 1878, 41594). Gillrakers slender, shorter than branchial filaments, 14-16 on lower part of anterior arch (Ref. 188, 1878, 93833). Dorsal fin with 13-15 rays, originating slightly in advance of pelvic fins, much nearer end of snout than base of caudal fin; anal fin with 16-20 rays, twice as distant from base of pelvic fins as from caudal fin, and originating a long way behind vertical of dorsal; pectoral fin 60-66% of head length, not reaching pelvic fins; caudal forked, with pointed lobes (Ref. 1878, 41594, 93833). Scales: 39-45 scales in longitudinal series, 8-10 in transverse series (Ref. 1878, 41594, 93833).
