Scales on lateral and dorsal sides of snout in most specimens. A small area in front of eye without scales in most specimens. Upper jaw extending behind anterior margin of eye reaching almost to its mid-line. Maxillary tentacle short and stubby. Lateral line descending gradually, reaching mid-line at tip of pectoral fin, separated from origin of first dorsal fin by 3-5 rows of scales, from origin of anal fin by 5-7, and from insertion of anal fin by 2 or 3. Second spine of first dorsal fin prolonged in some specimens. Pectoral fin pointed in most specimens (Ref 13203).
