Espinhos dorsais (total): 7; Raios dorsais moles (total): 9; Espinhos anais 2; Raios anais moles: 8 - 9. Gill rakers on first arch have the common styloid shape. Teeth are developed on the center and edges of the tongue (Ref. 31632). Snout tapering to a rounded point; eye very large, longer than high. Opercular spine pungent, bony, surmounted by one or more poorly ossified spinelets. Mouth large, lower jaw equal to or projecting slightly beyond upper jaw. Pyloric caeca 6-8. Preserved specimens are yellow-brown in color; dorsal fin membrane dark.
Occurs chiefly on the upper portion of the continental slope. Depth range from 200-600 m (Ref. 07321, 74332) and from 351-742 m in the eastern Ionian Sea (Ref. 56504, 74332). A mesobenthic-pelagic species living mainly above the bottom (Ref. 31632). Adults are strongly associated with the substrate (Ref. 4738).
