Skin gelatinous and naked; a moderate number of scales embedded in the lateral mucus canal. Vent very prominent. From about the vertical from the vent there is a low mid-dorsal fleshy ridge extending to base of caudal fin (cf. Sauter's figure of I. dofleini, 1905). Head shorter than trunk; head plus trunk J length from snout to base of caudal rays. A conical knob behind eye, its tip projecting through the skin (? due to abrasion in trawl). Eye 7-8 in post-ocular part of head; 2 in distance from anterior margin of eye to anterior.
