Morphologie | Morphométrie
Épines dorsales (Total): 9; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total): 11-13; Épines anales 0; Rayons mous anaux: 11 - 13. Lips smooth, lacking papillae on edges. Least interorbital width going 3.5 times or less in greatest diameter of orbit. Base of lower opercular spine concealed by scales. Anterior 1-3, usually 2, lateral line scales bearing a small spine. Iris lappet bearing short branches with bifurcate tips.
