SL. Body dorsoventrally depressed; dorsal profile strongly convex from anterior tip of upper lip to nares, distinctly curved near snout tip; slightly convex from nares to dorsal-fin origin; nearly straight from latter point to adipose-fin origin and distinctly concave from latter point to caudal fin. Ventral profile somewhat straight from snout tip to caudal fin. Ventral profile flat to caudal fin. Caudal peduncle approximately triangular in cross section, with dorsal surface and ventrolateral corners rounded. Body widest at insertion of pectoral fins, narrowest at insertion of caudal fin. Snout rounded in dorsal view.
