Head slightly deeper than wide at occiput. Tip of snout not projecting much beyond upper lip; low fleshy ridge at snout tip with weakly defined lobes under which lies row of sensory papillae. Upper jaw expanded posteriorly, ensheathed in long, fleshy pocket posteriorly; posteroventral corner with slight projection that is less developed in 29.2 mm SL juvenile than in adults. Teeth on jaws viliform, in 3-4 bands, with few caniniform teeth anteriorly in upper jaw and laterally in lower jaw. Caniniform vomerine teeth in two patches of 2-8 teeth, with 2-3 tiny teeth in each patch in largest specimens. Low, convoluted fleshy ridges on top of head, especially snout. Minute unpigmented sensory papillae on head in two irregular rows under eye and along upper jaw; uppermost courses behind eye and runs ventrally along anterior margin of preopercle; scattered papillae(not in rows) on snout (densest there) to nape; three irregular rows on lower jaw. No head pores. Tube of anterior nostril not well developed. Eye rounded, translucent orbital spectacle not reaching lens.</paragraph>

<paragraph id="898BC7DDD79446F86B8C6994B0814005" pageNumber="37">Gill opening extending ventally to vertical through rear margin of upper jaw. Gill membranes united, free of isthmus posteriorly. Three developed gill rakers on lower limb of first arch; rakers slanted forward so rear margin oriented dorsally; row of minute denticles on rear margin. Pectoral fin on short peduncle; rays almost reach vertical through anus. At least one pelvic fin ray unbroken in four specimens, length growth-related (above). Pelvic-fin insertion on vertical slightly in advance of base of pectoral peduncle. Dorsal-fin origin above middle of pectoral rays; above vertebrae 7-8; anal-fin origin at mid-body, under vertebra 14. Male copulatory apparatus with fleshy hood elevated above abdomen immediately before anal-fin origin. Inner surface of anterior end of hood enclosing the simple, conical genital papilla, posterior to which is another, much smaller, median papilla.</paragraph>
