Ihis genus differs from Tephraeops only in having the whole 
operculum scaly, the body scales somewhat larger, and the anal fin 
with an even margin, the anterior rays not being produced beyond 
the general line of the fin. 
The teeth of the two are similar. Richardson described the 
vomer and palatines as toothless in Tephraeops, while Klunzinger 
found a group of small teeth on the vomer in In my 
specimens of both genera, there are two or three minute, isolated, 
fixed teeth on the vomer, and a similar patch on'the hinder end of 
each palatine bone; besides these, there are numerous microscopic 
setiform, dermal teeth, which are quite soft, surrounding the 
stronger fixed ones. All these teeth are very difficult to find, and 
might be easily overlooked.
