Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 0; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 54 - 65. Belly convex in front, with 30 to 33 scutes. Mouth pointing obliquely upward. Pectoral fin distinctly shorter than head; dorsal fin small, well behind midpoint of body; anal fin long, its origin well before dorsal fin origin.
