Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 16.3 cm SL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 188)
Espinas dorsales (total): 0; Espinas anales 0; Radios blandos anales: 17 - 26. Belly with 25 to 30 total scutes. Anterior arm of pre-operculum with the third infra-orbital bone immediately above it, no fleshy gap between. Lower jaw strongly flared outward. A pair of grooves in the spongy skin on top of head, converging posteriorly.
