Épines dorsales (Total) : 13 - 14; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 14 - 17; Épines anales: 2; Rayons mous anaux: 16 - 17. Ventral margin of upper lip crenulate on lateral thirds; entire on central third; nape cirri present, simple; orbital cirri branched; 1 to 5, usually 3 to 5, preopercular pore positions with pairs or multiples of pores; subquadrate dark blotch present in humeral area on body; upper lip frequently with up to 15 alternating dark and 15 pale bands of subequal width, up to 7 of each above central, ventrally entire portion of lip; prominent, irregular dark mark on head just posterior to midpostorbital sensory pores.
Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).
