Espinas dorsales (total) : 9; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 21 - 22; Espinas anales: 3; Radios blandos anales: 17 - 18. This species is easily recognized by its long pelvic fin which fit into a groove along the midline of the belly when depressed. Scutes are present along its straight lateral line. Adult males have prolonged middle rays in the soft dorsal and anal fins. This species attains 25 cm in SL.
