Etymology: Apagesoma: Greek, apages, -es, -es = soft, lacking firmness + Greek, soma = body (Ref. 45335); edentatum: From the absence of vomerine and basibranchial tooth patches; neuter noun in apposition (Ref. 40708).

Duri punggung (Keseluruhan (total)) : 0; duri punggung lunak (Keseluruhan (total)) : 116; Duri dubur: 0; Sirip dubur lunak: 98; vertebrata, bertulang belakang: 50. Soft, watery body; eyes small; anterior nostril swollen; no spines on opercle and preopercle; preopercle posteriorly expanded; 10-12 developed rakers on anterior gill arch (Ref. 34024). Anal fin rays 111 in Ref. 40708. Distance of pelvic fin base to anal fin base is 27% SL (Ref. 40708).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: compressed.
Rare species (Ref. 34024). Apparently a slow swimmer because of its poorly developed musculature. Its large mouth opening and oral cavity may enable it to feed on a great size range of preys. The enlarged and swollen anterior nostril may reflect increased reliance on olfaction in recognition of conspecifics or food sources (Ref. 40708). Reproductive strategy possibly similar to other members of this family being oviparous, with oval pelagic eggs floating in a gelatinous mass (Ref. 205).
