equal to width of base of pectoral, two-thirds diameter of eye; ventral flap notably narrow, its width 
equal to half diameter of eye; dorsal spine inserted above pupil, its length equal to distance between 
angle of mouth and upper edge of gill-opening, reaching the insertion of dorsal fin when depressed; 
with 6 lateral spines which project downward and slightly backward; 3 or 4 small granules in a row 
below the spines; anterior part of spine with prickles which point upward; length of base of dorsal 
about equal to length of head; height of fin equal to diameter of eye; length of base of anal equal to 
distance between tip of snout and posterior edge of orbit; height equal to that of dorsal; rays of dorsal 
and anal rough on basal halves; caudal round, the alternate rays with strong prickles; length of fin 
equal to length of snout; length of pectoral equal to twice the length of gill-slit; ventral spine large, 
length of movable part about equal to length of gill-opening, the sides with large spikes which project 
backward. Body and head evenly covered with prickles, those of the dorsal parts slightly coarser 
than the others; no enlarged spines on caudal peduncle.
