Épines dorsales (Total) : 8; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 8 - 9; Épines anales: 1; Rayons mous anaux: 8 - 9. Characterized by having enlarged, thickened and wide pectoral fins; widely spaced broad fleshy pelvic fin; head and snout flattened, small dorsolaterally oriented eyes; small ventrally placed mouth; accessory lateral line canals dorsal and ventral to the lateral line on the body, including caudal fin base; caudal fin large (Ref. 92840).
