Short description

Dorsal spines (total): 2; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8 - 10; Anal spines: 2 - 3; Anal soft rays: 6 - 8; Vertebrae: 36 - 38. Body elongate, relatively wide transversely in region from rear of head to vertical through posterior terminus of base of dorsal fin and increasingly transversely-compressed posterior to latter region (Ref. 54201). Ventral region of head and body anterior to insertion of pelvic fin distinctly flattened; the degree of flattening more pronounced in larger examined specimens (Ref. 54201). Snout and dorsal portions of upper lip and head covered with small papillae-like processes (Ref. 54201). Mouth slightly subterminal (Ref. 54201). Lower jaw comparatively wide relative to condition in many congeneric species (Ref. 54201). Jaw teeth elongate, bicuspid, and slightly expanded distally, with single series of functional teeth in each jaw; dentary with 5 or 6 teeth, premaxilla with 5 or 6 teeth, maxilla edentulous (Ref. 54201). Scales are ctenoid, with cteni formed by series of independent ossifications positioned along posterior margin of scale (Ref. 54201). Lateral-line scale series completely pored, with last scale in series horizontally elongate (Ref. 54201).
