: 29 - 31. 4 (4-5) pairs of trifid incisors in upper jaw, 4 pairs in lower jaw; anus markedly closer to anal fin origin than to rear of disc; dorsal-caudal distance forward passing tip of, usually extending to about middle of, pectoral fin; margin of anterior nostril without dermal flap (Ref.
42103
). Nearly transparent, light olive; body markings quite variable in intensity, ranging from dark and distinct to light and indistinct, sometimes giving an overall mottled appearance (Ref.
42103
).
Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref.

42103
). Stomach contents contained barnacle cirri and barnacle cyprid larvae,
Sphaeroma peruvianum
, small oysters and other bivalves, amphipods, and harpacticoid copepods (Ref.
