Scales separating naked area on breast from naked pectoral base. Curved part of lateral line longer than straight part; junction of curved and straight parts below vertical from between 10th or 12th rays of second dorsal fin; straight part of lateral line with 0-6 scales followed by 23-30 scutes; scutes present on caudal peduncle. Elongate filament extending from second dorsal-fin ray; shorter filament extending from anal fin. |
