The type species, attaining a length of about 0'4. Proportions 
uncertain, but length of head with opercular apparatus equalling 
about half that of the vertebral column. Vertebra; 16 in the 
abdominal, 22 in the caudal region. Pectoral fins, whon adprossed, 
reaching the beginning of the caudal region ; anterior dorsal fin 
consisting of 10 spines ; posterior dorsal and anal fins with about 
20 articulated rays, of which an uncertain number are detached 
finlets. 
Nearly all the known specimens of this species are much distorted, 
and it seems probable that Wettstein is correct in proposing the 
synonymy given above.
