Chaves de identificação | Morfologia | Morfometria
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 15 - 17; Raios dorsais moles (total) : 9 - 11; Espinhos anais: 3; Raios anais moles: 8 - 10. Body relatively deep; head large (Ref. 40031). Jaws isognathous (Ref. 40031). Lips greatly enlarged (Ref. 40031, 54524), soft, and deeply folded back onto snout and lower jaw (Ref. 40031). Premaxillary pedicel not prominent (Ref. 40031).
