has a more elongate and less robust body. Body somewhat wide anteriorly and head dorsoventrally compressed, particularly rostrally. Head appearing smaller and more rounded than in congeners, which might be due to extent of squamation extending fully onto head. Body becoming progressively laterally compressed posteriorly. Caudal peduncle laterally compressed, elongate, and relatively shallow. Eyes lacking entirely, with ctenoid scales covering orbital opening in skull. Snout wide. Snout and anterior portion of head markedly elongate and shovellike, with a bony, armored appearance owing to enlarged sensory canals forming platelike subdivisions. On dorsal, lateral, and ventral sides of head numerous deep canals, lined with small pores. Anterior nostril short, wide, and tubular, located just posterior to upper lip; posterior nostril more or less slit like, but opening rather wide and oval. Lacrimal small, greatly reduced in size. Palatine elongate and very thin. Ventral margins of bones on cheek and operculum lined with densely arrayed short papillae, lending the bones a serrated appearance.

Squamation extends rostrally to anterior margin of frontal bones, where scale rows become constricted (narrow) medially. Scales sparsely arrayed over lateral ethmoid and median ethmoid (figs. 2, 6A, 7A, 8A). Laterally, ctenoid scales extend anteriorly over pterygoid elements to posterior portion of elongate, thin palatine. All scales on body and head strongly ctenoid, except on ventrum. Cycloid scales on ventrum extend from around anus and urogenital papilla to anterior margin of chest. Scales on belly and chest highly embedded and difficult to see in preserved specimens (i.e., can easily be seen in C&amp;S individual, AMNH 245610, 39.0 mm SL). Scales on head, opercle, and dorsum strongly ctenoid. Scales becoming increasingly more embedded posteriorly on flank and dorsum, and on caudal peduncle to flexure, such that they may appear cycloid upon casual examination. All fins asquamate, except in some individuals a few scales may extend slightly onto base of caudal fin. Otherwise, body fully scaled to caudal fin, including regions both anterior and medial to pelvic fin. Scales arranged in irregular rows, uneven in size, with smallest on roof of head, and largest on operculum. Pectoral-fin axil and fleshy base asquamate.</paragraph>

In life, body is relatively translucent, whereas translucency is lost and body becomes an opaque white in alcohol.
