Head compressed, dorsal margin sloped downward to snout. Nostrils widely separated, anterior with tube-like flap, posterior close to eye. Eye longer than deep, about four times into head length, film of tissue covering eye. Infraorbital sensory canal not evident. Broad flap of tissue covering dorsal half of maxilla. Mouth large, slightly oblique; lower jaw inferior. Distal end of maxilla dorsoventrally expanded with concave posterior margin. Supramaxilla present. Premaxilla and dentary with small, numerous, villiform teeth all subequal in size. Intraoral teeth similar in size to oral teeth. Palatine tooth patch elongate, rounded anteriorly, tapering posteriorly; vomerine tooth patch with anterior bulbous patch, tapering to lateral arms. Dentition interrupted across upper and lower jaw symphyses. Eight branchiostegals (full complement), 2 on ceratohyal. One elongate basibranchial 3 tooth plate posterior to basihyal, anteriorly broad and tapering posteriorly, overlapping basibranchials 1 and 2. Tooth plates on epibranchials 2, 3, and 4. Pseudobranch short and rudimentary, with two filaments. Preopercle with four weak, flap-like spines; easily bent if probed. Opercle strongly bent at acute angle with posterior spine piercing skin. Opercular spine narrowly ovoid in cross-section. Opercular tissue connected dorsally to body via broad flap of skin. Head scaleless, body with deciduous scales. Many lateral-line scales missing, but canal appears to end near level of anus, as in other species of

Dorsal- and anal-fin rays approximately subequal in length to each other and along each fin. Caudal-fin rays elongate with truncate posterior margin. Body pale brown, speckled with melanophores; opercular tissue dark.

Head large, deeper than long, body tapering posteriorly to narrow caudal fin. Eye small, deeper than wide, ovoid. Maxilla and premaxilla at oblique upturned angle. Premaxilla and dentary with small, distantly spaced teeth. Distal end of maxilla dorsoventrally expanded, posterior margin convex. Posterior tip of premaxilla nearly reaching posterior margin of maxilla. Supramaxilla present. Large rostral cartilage attached to ascending process of premaxilla. Nostrils in close proximity, anterior to eye. Symphysis of dentary with slight ventral expansion. Opercular series without spines. Body and head scaleless. Dorsal fin inserting in line with pectoral-fin base. Pectoral fin large, fan like, with broad base. Pectoral-fin membrane between each ray entire. Pelvic-fin ray minute, inserting immediately behind cleithral symphysis. Gut moderate, internal to body and lacks exterilium morphology of some other larval ophidiids (
