Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 42.0 cm NG αρσενικό/απροσδιόριστο; (Ref. 58426)
Ραχιαίες άκανθες (συνολικά) : 0; Εδρικές άκανθες: 0. Dorsal fin with an extremely elongated ray, its length longer than head length. Longest pelvic-fin ray reaching beyond the posterior end of the anal-fin base. Olive on sides, belly pale; the margins of the dorsal, caudal and anal fins darker.
Epibenthic (Ref. 58426). Minimum depth at 90 m (Ref. 1371). Most abundant between 360 and 800 m. Feeds mostly on crustaceans (especially euphausiids, shrimps and amphipods (Ref. 5951)) but also on mollusks and fishes (Ref. 1371).
