Épines dorsales (Total) : 11; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 23 - 24; Épines anales: 2; Rayons mous anaux: 6 - 8. This species is distinguished from its congeners in the Atlantic with a terminal or oblique mouth by the following characters: with an inferior mouth and elongated body; absence of diverticula on the posterior margin of anterior gas bladder chamber (distinguishes it from microps, naso, venezuelae); body depth slightly greater than HL and the snout length is shorter than the eye diameter; anterior nostril is slightly oval and forward directed, and the posterior nostril is bean-shaped forming an angle between them (Ref. 125562).
This species is rather common in inshore waters, from the surf zone to estuaries along the
northeastern Brazilian coast. Occurs near beaches with accumulations of detached macrophytes, mostly between September and February, feeding on amphipods and other crustaceans (Ref. 125562).
