Small size, elongate body: depth 14-16.5%SL, caudal peduncle slender, depth 11.5-13.6%SL, 1.18-1,4 times in length. Head short, lateral length 21.2-23.7%SL, eye diameter 3.6-4.7%SL, located dorsally and interorbital width 5.6-6.9%SL. Caudal peduncle 1.18-1.40 longer than its deep, its depth 11-13.6% SL. Dorsal fin origin slightly in front of ventral fin origin, both lip fleshy, upper lip notched medially. Dentiformis present. Lower jaw not incision.
