Anal
soft rays: 16 - 21. Snout pointed about 3/4 eye diameter; maxilla long, tip pointed, projecting at least 1/2 eye diameter beyond second supra-maxilla, reaching beyond hind border of pre-operculum; gill cover canals of walkeri-type. Anal fin origin below midpoint of dorsal fin base; anus nearer to pelvic fin tips than to anal fin origin. Silver stripe along flank, about pupil diameter, lost on preservation.

Estimates of some properties based on empirical models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00512 (-0.16713 - 0.17738), b=3.08 (2.99 - 3.17), based on LWR estimates for this genus-BS (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.4 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 69278): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100) .
