Mouth a little oblique, upper jaw prominent, maxillary extends to below anterior margin of pupil. Mucous canals in- distinct. Two open pores in a median line in interorbital, some along supraopercular groove. Scales of head as is given in genus description. First dorsal fin lower than body, first ray filiform.

First band reaches from tip of snout along interorbital to insertion of first dorsal fin; second from tip of snout through eye, here it is divided into two bands, the upper to half-way along second dorsal fin, the lower to upper part of caudal base; the fourth band goes from edge of mouth over operculum and base of pectoral on middle of side to base of caudal fin; the fifth begins on cheek, runs on lower part of base of pectoral fin along base of anal to lower part of caudal peduncle; the sixth begins on branchiostegal membranes and extends to base of ventral. First dorsal fin with white bands, bordered on each side by dark, along base. Second dorsal with a similar band, between 7th to 10th ray a black ocellus, bordered b
