Épines dorsales (Total) : 0; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 0; Épines anales: 0; Rayons mous anaux: 4 - 5; Vertèbres: 41. Diagnosed from its congeners by having diminutive eyes, posterior naris absent, presence of a triangular skin flap at mouth corner, dorsal and ventral fin fold deep and extending forward on the head to a vertical through tip of pectoral fin. Differs from Pygidianops magoi by
