: Only slightly deep bodied with greatest body depth anterior of dorsal fin. Dorsal profile from tip of snout to anterior origin of dorsal fin and ventral profile from interorbital area to pelvic fin origin are moderately convex. Head moderately short. Mouth moderately long and mostly sub-terminal and rarely terminal. Lower jaw moderately wide. Rostral plate equally wide as deep, not strongly pronounced with tip of the snout often more pointed than blunt. Eye-socket thick and sickle cell-shaped. Pectoral fin moderately tapered and moderately short. Dorsal fin rather short with anterior unbranched ray of erected dorsal fin mostly 70-80° angle to body axis, almost straight and only very slightly bent posteriorly at end of the ray. Dorsal fin longest anteriorly and progressively shortening posteriorly with outer margin of dorsal fin mostly straight and rarely concave. Caudal peduncle stout and moderately short with caudal fin moderately forked. Unbranched rays of anal fin slightly bent posteriorly. Anal fin longest anteriorly and progressively shortening posteriorly with outer margin of anal fin mostly straight and only rarely slightly concave.

: Pigmentation of fins and body overall moderately strong in live specimens. Pectoral fin slightly pigmented at distal parts of fin. Pelvic fin moderately pigmented at the median to distal parts of fin. All other fins strongly pigmented. Silvery appearance along flanks with moderate number of pigmented small dots (aggregation of melanophores) on scales along flank and dorsum. Distribution of dots bound to scale patterning such that dots are found at edge of the scales or at boundary point of two scales. Dorsally above the lateral line the silvery appearance changes to a pale greenish to dark greenish blue colour and sometimes with pale mustard yellow ground colour. Dorsal part of head and snout around nostrils moderately pigmented. Pre-operculum and operculum silvery with one black spot on lower margin of pre-operculum. Preserved specimens pale in colouration with similar pigmentation as described for live specimens. The silvery, translucent, not coloured or unpigmented parts of body become yellowish brown, whereas pigmented parts are conserved and coloured parts (dorsally above the lateral line) become brownish.
