A genus of the auchenipterid subfamily Auchenipterinae that is distinguished from all other auchenipterid genera by the following combination of derived features: pectoral- and dorsal-fin spines with four rows of serrations running from base to the tip of the spines; (2) lateral margins of skull roofing bones ornamented with a single row of spines; (3) groove along dorsal midline posterior to dorsal fin, in which the adducted dorsal fin rests.
