Épines dorsales (Total) : 0; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 5 - 7; Épines anales: 0; Rayons mous anaux: 9 - 14; Vertèbres: 56 - 62. First dorsal fin ray much produced in a long filament terminating in a minute flap; adipose fin large, placed well back over posterior part of anal, higher posteriorly; pelvic fins long and narrow (Ref. 6885). No true gill rakers (Ref. 6885). Dark brown to black in color (Ref. 6885). Branchiostegal rays: 16-21 (Ref. 35898).
