with the following characters. Body without scales. Trunk relatively long (about 2129% of TL). Dorsal-fin origin (DFO) above posterior third of pectoral fin. Gape of mouth moderate, extending to near rear margin of eye. Teeth not compound. Intermaxillary teeth conical with approximately 1624 teeth in the tooth patch, inner teeth on the patch nearly twice as large as the outer teeth. Vomerine teeth contiguous with intermaxillary teeth with approximately 2530 teeth irregularly biserial to triserial anteriorly and uniserial posteriorly. Both intermaxillary and vomerine teeth set in beds of papillose tissue. Maxillary teeth small, set in irregular rows, 3 rows anteriorly to 6 rows posteriorly. Dentary teeth similar to maxillary teeth except they are slightly larger and more uniform in size anteriorly. Lateral line short, confined to anterior half of body (ca. 3545% of TL).

). Body tapers gradually to caudal, deepest body depth anterior to anus. Dorsal-fin origin near posterior half or just behind tip of pectoral fin, predorsal length ca. 1418 % TL. Trunk length moderate, contained about 4 times in TL. Preanus length approximately 3 times in TL, preanal-fin length about 36% of TL. Head length moderate (ca. 1014 % TL). Gill slits crescentic and horizontal, located ventrally just anterior to and below pectoral fin base. Anterior nostril tubular, directed anterolaterally. Posterior nostril round, just in front of eye. Eye relatively small (914 % HL). Pectoral fin moderate in size (3.23.7 % TL, 1027 % HL) with 15 rays. Gape extends to near posterior half of eye. Snout plicate, two main plicae on each side of mid-line, outermost least developed. Tip of lower jaw also plicate, two main plicae on each side of mid-line and occasionally one smaller plica lateral to the main plicae for a total of six. Teeth conical, arranged in bands along maxillary, dentary and intermaxillary/vomer. Teeth not compound. Maxillary teeth in two to four rows (medially) reducing to one irregular row posteriorly, with anterior teeth somewhat enlarged. Dentary teeth in three to five irregular rows, with anterior ones (in two rows) larger. Intermaxillary teeth with 1428 strong teeth concentrically arranged around tooth patch with inner teeth slightly larger. Vomerine teeth abutting intermaxillary tooth patch with two irregular rows anteriorly (with ca. 1016 teeth each) and converging to single row posteriorly (with two to three teeth). Both intermaxillary and vomerine teeth surrounded by papillae. Cephalic lateralis pores: supraorbital pores three, first located between first and second plicae on tip of snout, second on snout at level of the dorsal rim of anterior nostril, third on dorsal of snout above adnasal pore; infraorbital pores five, first (adnasal pore) just posterior to dorsal rim of anterior nostril, second on lip just posteroventral to base of anterior nostril, third on lip halfway between anterior and posterior nostrils, forth on lip ventral to posterior nostril, fifth just ventral to the posterior margin of the eye; preoperculomandibular pores seven to ten, six to eight pores along mandible with zero to two pores in preopercular position, first very small and located within plicae at the tip of lower jaw, remaining mandibular pores spaced progressively far apart along jaw, last mandibular pore located approximately below rictus, preopercular pores (if present) located posteriorly in the opercular region. Lateral line incomplete, relatively short; pores extend to approximately 35% length of body. Lateral line numbering two to six pores anterior to pectoral-fin base, 814 pores anterior to dorsal-fin origin, 3139 pores anterior to anus, 3147 total pores. Vertebral numbers: predorsal 913, preanal 3742, total 128137.
