Height/length ratio is approximately 55%, exclusive of anterodorsal dome. Margins mainly smooth. Anterior margin fairly steep, somewhat rounded. Anterodorsal slope quite steep, depending upon development of anterodorsal dome. Dorsal margin almost straight to slightly inclined toward posterior. Posterodorsal slope gently inclined. Posterior rounded but tapered. Ventral margin broadly rounded, but posteroventral slope slightly steeper. Smooth inner face slightly convex. Sulcus fairly narrow, long (approximately 90% of the otoliths length), clearly divided into ostium and cauda. Sulcus not deeply excavated, edges slightly incised. Sulcus extending essentially from anterior margin to near the posterior margin (distinct space between posterior of sulcus and posterior margin). Dorsal margin of sulcus essentially straight, whereas ventral margin slightly inflated toward ventral in the ostium, constricted at ostium/cauda intersection. Ostium approximately three times longer than cauda. Cauda approximately oval in shape, much smaller in length than ostium. Cristae not developed, no depressed area observed. Ventral furrow weakly developed in anteroventral and mid-ventral. Outer face slightly and irregularly concave.</paragraph>
