Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 135 - 136. Body long and compressed; head short, 3 or more times in preanal; eyes small; branchiostegal rays 7; jaw teeth sharp-pointed, compressed, in a single row; median basibranchial tooth patches 2; gill rakers short, spiny tubercle pads; caudal fin rays 8; precaudal vertebrae 22-23 (Ref. 34024). Body depth at anus less than head length (Ref. 34024).
Rare species (Ref. 34024). Reproductive strategy possibly similar to other members of this family featuring oviparity, with oval pelagic eggs floating in a gelatinous mass (Ref. 205).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00110 (0.00041 - 0.00296), b=3.08 (2.85 - 3.31), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.7 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
