DESCRIPTION (Based on 11 specimens, mm SL) Dorsal-fin rays 1,25-26 (1,26), all segmented rays branched; anal-fin rays 1,17-18 (), all segmented rays branched; pectoral-fin rays 13-14 (13/14), upper 1 and lower 0-1 (0/1) rays simple; pelvic-fin rays 1,4. medial ray small, inconspicuous and unbranched, all other segmented rays branched; upper procurrent caudal-fin rays 5; lower procurrent caudal-fin rays 4-5 (4); principal caudal-fin rays 8 + 8, upper 0-1 (0) and lower 0-1 (0) unbranched; total caudal-fin rays 25-26 (25); scales in lateral series 40^5 (43/43); anterior lateral- line scales 32-39 (35/35); anterior lateral line terminating beneath segmented dorsal-fin ray 19-23 (21/21); predorsal scales 5-6 (5); scales in transverse series 10-12 + 1 + 2-3 = 13-16 (11 + 1+2/11 + 1 +2); circumpeduncular scales 12; gill rakers 1-2 + 2, sometimes with 1-2 tiny rudiments (inconspicuous ossifications bearing a few or no teeth) above and below rakers (gill raker count not determined in holotype); pseudobranch filaments 6-7 (not determined in holotype). Cephalic laterosensory pores (all bilaterally paired, unless otherwise stated; Fig. 1): nasal pores 1-3 (3/3); anterior interorbital pores 2-3 (2/2); posteri
