Dorsal-fin rays VI + 1,10 (1,10 f4; 1,11 fl); anal-fin rays 1,9; pectoral-fin pointed with 18/18(16fl; 17 f2; 18 f7) rays, the lower 1 (0 f8; 1 f2) ray unbranched, remaining rays branched; upper 3-5 pectoral-fin rays with free tips; lower pectoral-fin rays slightly thickened, more robust than upper rays; pelvic-fin rays 1,5; branches on first segmented pelvic-fin ray 5/4 (4 flO); branches on second pelvic-fin ray 5/5 (4 f4; 5 f5; 6 f 1); branches on third pelvic-fin rays 6/6 (4 fl; 5 f6; 6 f3); branches on fourth segmented pelvic-fin ray 5/ 5 (3 f3; 4 f4; 5 f3); fifth 'segmented' pelvic-fin ray unbranched, with few or no segments, much shorter than other segmented rays (subequal to or shorter than spine) and inconspicuous (clearly visible only after dissection; Fig. 4); pelvic fins fully separate, without connecting membrane or fraenum (Fig. 5); segmented caudal-fin rays 9 + 8; branched caudal-fin rays 8 + 8(7 + 7fl;8 + 7 f4); upper unsegmented caudal-fin rays 5 (4 fl; 5 f4); lower unsegmented caudal-fin rays 4 (4 f2; 5 f3); vertebrae 10 + 17; first dorsal pterygiophore formula 3-22110; anal pterygiophores preced- ing first haemal spine 2; epurals 1.
