Armature of head more developed than in Sebastichthys elegans; nasal, pre- 

 ocular, supra-ocular, post-ocular, tympanic, parietal, nuchal and coronal spines 

 present, the latter small, all very acute and all prominent; pre-orbital with three 

 prominent triangular, blunt points, overlapping the maxillary; suborbital stay 

 prominent, forming a naked sharp ridge below eye, ending at level of upper oper- 

 cular spine in a small spine, the ridge with two small posteriorly directed spines 

 (much less prominent than in Thysaninchthys crossotus). Pre-opercle with a 

 double upper spine, another immediately below, and a third more distant. Opercle 

 with two sharp, somewhat dorsally directed, spines of equal strength; a similar one
