पृष्ठीय रीढ़ (सम्पूर्ण) : 11 - 14; गुदा कांटा: 0; ऐनल सौफट रेज़: 9 - 18; जानवरों की रीड़ का जोड़: 53 - 57. Diagnosis: lower jaw longer than upper jaw; pectoral fin reaching first dorsal ray (Ref. 2835, 42908, 81263). 11-14 dorsal finlets (Ref. 28714, 122071), the first situated above the pectoral fins; head flat or slightly concave between the eyes but not convex (Ref. 28714).
