Dorsal soft rays (total): 11 - 12; Anal soft rays: 9 - 10; Vertebrae: 39. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: pelvic fins and girdle absent; branchiostegal rays 8; vertebrae 39; six pectoral-fin rays; filament on the extremity of the first pectoral-fin ray absent; anterior segment of the infraorbital latero-sensory canal absent; dorsal 18 and ventral 13 procurrent caudal-fin rays; opercular odontodes 9-11; jaw teeth sub-incisiform, tip rounded; autopalatine with a well-developed postero-lateral process; sesamoid supraorbital slender, without lateral projections, and long, about three times antorbital length; slender opercular odontode patch, with depth about half length of dorsal hyomandibula articular facet; lateral process of the parurohyal broad; pleural ribs 17 or 18 (Ref. 137687).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: oval.
