Males with suborbital flap; females with neither suborbital flap nor suborbital slit. Pectoral fin rounded in females, strongly falcate in males. In males, unbranched and first branched rays rigid, arched and curled upwards. First branched ray about 5 times wider than other branched rays, flattened dorso-ventrally, reaching beyond pelvic-fin base; without membrane between the branches and all sub-branches. Second branched ray slender, branched only at tip, membrane between branches very narrow. See diagnosis of genus for more detailed description of pectoral fin of both sexes.
