Lateral plates usually with median keels formed from ridge of bone and enlarged odontodes; height of keels vary from absent to tall with odontodes very sharp; keels may be present or absent on any row of lateral plates; keels of first three plates of supramedian plate row angled dorsally, often confluent with keel of dorsal plate row; keels on first three plates of dorsal row forming angle from tip of supraoccipital to posterolateral corner of nuchal plate, not confluent with keel on dorsal plate row beginning on fourth plate.

Entire ventral surface of head and body (including space above pectoral- and pelvic-fin rays) of adults covered in small platelets, platelets often extending onto base of pectoral- and pelvic-fin rays ventrally.

Frontal, nasal, sphenotic, infraorbitals, pterotic-supracleithrum, suprapreopercle, and supraoccipital supporting odontodes. Opercle supports odontodes in some species.
