   This 
  genus 
  is 
  closely 
  allied 
  to 
  Serranus, 
  differing 
  technically 
  chiefly 
  in 
  the 
  direction 
  

   of 
  the 
  lateral 
  line, 
  which 
  runs 
  very 
  high 
  and 
  is 
  concurrent 
  with 
  the 
  back, 
  becoming 
  

   abruptly 
  straight 
  and 
  horizontal 
  below 
  last 
  rays 
  of 
  dorsal. 
  The 
  body 
  is 
  rather 
  

   strongly 
  compressed, 
  the 
  snout 
  blunt, 
  the 
  mouth 
  oblique, 
  the 
  maxillary 
  broad 
  and 
  

   scaly, 
  and 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  fins 
  with 
  produced 
  or 
  filamentous 
  rays, 
  and 
  the 
  caudal 
  generally 
  

   deeply 
  forked. 
  Species 
  of 
  rather 
  small 
  size, 
  mostly 
  inhabiting 
  deep 
  waters.
