Dorsal fin with 3 simple and 8* (4) branched rays, last one split to base; last simple ray longer than HL; distal margin slightly concave; origin closer to snout tip than to caudal-fin base. Pectoral fin with 1 simple and 12*(1) or 14 (3) branched rays, equal to or slightly longer than HL; tip of depressed fin extending slightly beyond three-fourths to pelvic-fin origin. Pelvic fin with 1 simple and 8*(4) branched rays, slightly shorter than HL; origin posterior to vertical of third dorsal-fin branched ray; tip of depressed fin surpassing anus, not reaching anal-fin origin; pelvic axillary scale long, extending beyond base of last ray. Anal fin with 3 simple and 5*(4) branched rays, last one spilt to base; origin closer to pelvic-fin insertion than to caudal-fin base; distal margin concave. Anus anterior to anal-fin origin, separated from it by one scale. Caudal with 9 + 9 branched rays, deeply forked, upper and lower lobes equal in shape and length.
