Korte beschrijving
Morfologie | Morfometrie
Dorsale stekels (totaal): 0; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal): 95-98; Anale stekels 0; Anale zachte stralen: 74 - 77. Body relatively short; eye diameter much shorter than snout, mouth ends well posterior to eye; many needle-like teeth; short, sharp opercular spine, preopercle unarmed; 2 median basibranchial tooth patches (Ref. 34024).
A benthic species found on the continental slope (Ref. 75154). Uncommon species (Ref. 34024). Reproductive strategy possibly similar to other members of this family featuring oviparity, with oval pelagic eggs floating in a gelatinous mass (Ref. 205).
