Body slender, rounded anteriorly, more compressed posteriorly. Predorsal area naked; cheek and opercle naked. Prepectoral area, prepelvic area and belly covered with cycloid scales; body scales ctenoid to behind pectoral fin. First dorsal fin rounded, third spine longest; second dorsal fin high, rounded posteriorly; anal fin low, rounded posteriorly; pectoral fin oval; pelvic fin oval; caudal fin rounded.
