Short description Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total): 3; Radios blandos dorsales (total): 25-28; Espinas anales 0; Radios blandos anales: 23 - 25. Soft dorsal and anal fins very elevated anteriorly, the longest rays nearly as long as head; caudal fin double-emarginate, brownish gray with a large dark brown spot at base of pectoral fins (Ref. 13442).
