Sagitta with a tadpole-shaped impression, the "tail" of which is expanded and deepened as a hollow cone.  Gillrakers short and narrow, 6 or 7 on lower limb of first arch.  Second part of dorsal fin with 1 spine and 25-229 soft rays.  Swim bladder hammer-shaped, with 13 or 14 pairs of arborescent appendages, the first branching in the head.</dc:description>
