The total length of the fish is about 80 mm., and the greatest body 
depth 14 mm. 
The dorsal fin is as in Disichthys kimberleyensis entirely behind the 
middle point of the body, and it fm^ther resembles it in being apparently 
made up of unbranched rays. It differs, however, in having a very much 
larger number of rays — probably 40 — which are feeble, and in thus having 
a very much larger base for the fin. 
The pectoral fin is not preserved, but the pelvic fin is in fair condition. 
It is small and situated a little in front of the origin of the dorsal. 
The anal fin is of moderate size and triangular. It is mainly behind 
the dorsal instead of practically opposite it as in Disichthys kimberleyensis. 
It is composed of about 28 rays, of which the first few are short. 
The caudal fin appears to be bifurcate, though in the specimen the 
under lobe is pushed against the main axis. The rays are numerous, 
small, and unbranched. 
The scales differ from those in Disichthys in being rhombic and 
thicker. They are ornamented by ridges running parallel to the posterior 
edges of the scales.
