Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 8; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 9 - 10; Anale stekels: 3; Anale zachte stralen: 9 - 10. Body very high, 50% of SL. Lateral line incomplete, but a few pored scales on a silvery midlateral band. Lower margin of inter operculum with few spines. The second spine of the first dorsal fin is strong and very long.
