Moderately elongate, body compressed, rather stout anteriorly, deep in the 
caudal region; greatest depth one sixth of the total length. Head wider than 
deep, four nineteenths of the total length, one half as long as the body cavity, 
rounded and narrowed in front. Snout bluntly rounded on the end, as long 
as the orbit. Mouth medium, slightly oblique, cleft rising forward; maxillary 
reaching very little farther back than the front edge of the orbit. Teeth 
small, conical, unequal; upper ina villiform band of six or eight series at the 
symphysis, with a series of somewhat larger and separated teeth in front; 
lower also in a band, but with fewer rows and with the larger series inward. 
The large teeth of the lower jaws increase in size to about the midlength of 
each mandible, where are situated the largest teeth in the mouth, thence they 
decrease in size. Eye large, as long as the snout, one fourth as long as the 
head. Gill opening little wider than the base of the pectoral; gill membrane 
with a sharp angle on the end of a branchiostegal ray at the lower edge of the 
pectoral; gill rakers 2+7, short, pointed. Pseudobranchiz medium, with 
thirteen lamella or more. Anal papilla prominent. Scales large, absent from 
the head, not absent from the nape or around the bases of the dorsals, margins 
with fine pectinations. 
Origin of first dorsal slightly backward from the bases of the pectorals, fin 
membrane not uniting with the second dorsal, longest ray two thirds of the 
length of the head, shortest ray two thirds of the orbital length; ends of 
spines protruded beyond the membrane as a fringe; outline somewhat regu- 
larly curved. Base of second dorsal less than one and one half times that of
