It is further diagnosed by the presence of mostly unicuspid teeth in the outer rows of the lower jaws; the short head length, 33.3% of standard length vs. 36.3-39.8%; and the distance between snout and dorsal-fin origin, 34.5% of standard length vs. 34.8-43.2% (Ref. 87930).Description: Tapered and relatively elongate body with flat ventral outline; lips relatively thick; chin deep (Ref. 55954). Jaws prognathous; teeth on jaws in 3 rows; teeth in outer row unicuspid; 22 teeth in outer row of left lower jaw (Ref. 87930). Scale rows on cheek 4; lateral-line scales 30; 1 pored scale posterior to hypural plates (Ref. 87930). Gill rakers on first ceratobranchial 11, with 4 on epibranchial (Ref. 87930). Snoeks, J. and M.
