Counts and measurements are given in Table 1. Branchiostegal rays 5 (in 2). Vertebrae 10 + 16 (in holotype). Head strongly compressed, cheeks not bulbose. Snout shorter than eye length, gently sloping in lateral view, with snout tip in horizontal line from middle of eye. Eye in head. Interorbital very narrow, less than pupil diameter. Mouth large, oblique, forming an angle of about 40° with body axis; jaws end under a point below middle to posterior half of pupil. Gill rakers on outer face of first arch slender and elongate, longer than gill filaments ventrally. Rakers on inner face of first arch and both faces of other three arches developed as short knobs. First four dorsal spines greatly elongated, second or third spine longest, reaching to above posterior end of second dorsal fin to above base of caudal when depressed. Fifth dorsal spine shorter than others, only slightly elongated. Sixth dorsal spine widely separated from fifth, and short and not prolonged. Pectoral rays branched except for uppermost and lowermost rays. Posterior margin of pectoral fin obtusely rounded, reaching to above anal origin. Pelvic disc large, reaching to below second or third anal ray. Caudal tip pointed in both sexes; segmented rays 8-10 (from top) longest; ray 9 produced into short filament in single female. Body covered with cycloid scales, except for two naked anterior 50 Aust. Zool. 21(1), 1982.
