Snout rather long, terminating in a sharp point anteriorly and projecting beyond mouth for a distance slightly less than 1/2 diameter of orbit. Orbit small, subcircular. Mouth large, lateral, considerably oblique. No barbel. Scales large and thin, exposed area with very small, weak spinules arranged in quincunx order, those on breast, belly, and axillary fossa entirely cycloid. Vent just in front of anal fin and preceded by a long luminous organ.
