পৃষ্ঠীয় কাঁটা (মোট ) : 11; পৃষ্ঠীয় নরম পাখনা দন্ড (মোট ) : 11; পায়ূ কাঁটা : 2; পায়ূর নরম পাখনা্তুন্ড: 11; কশেরুকা : 26. This species is distinguished by the following characters: with a rigid upper jaw lacking flexible lamina posteriorly, extending about 0.9 eye diameters behind posterior margin of orbit; infraorbitals are relatively slender and tubular, the third infraorbital with moderate posterolateral projecting arm ending with large sensory canal opening, no suborbital shelf; D XI,11; A II,11; vertebrae 10+16; gill rakers 12+25.
