Espinhos dorsais (total) : 12; Raios dorsais (total) : 14; Espinhos anais: 2; Raios anais : 15; Vértebras: 30. Diagnosis: Dorsal fin XII, 14, membrane attached to caudal fin, with deep notch above last spine, first spine almost same or slightly higher than second; anal fin II, 15; pectoral rays 15; pelvic fin I, 4; caudal fin procurrent rays 11-14. Vertebrae 10 + 20. LL, without scales and scalelike flaps; LL tubes 0-3 (sometimes up to 5), canal ends below posterior to 9th dorsal ray, usually on caudal-fin base. Lower lip smooth mesially, plicate laterally. Upper lip crenulae 36-48. Gill rakers 24-30. Cephalic sensory pore system complex. Cirri, nuchal 50-64, supraorbital 17-48, nasal 11-37; nuchal cirri in 4 groups, where 2 or 3 groups are occasionally connected basally by a slightly notched frenum, usually dorsalmost groups overlap at middle of nape, ventralmost group on each side on expanded nuchal flaps. Body depth at anal-fin origin 3.0-3.8 in SL. Adult males with brown body; females greyish brown with red spots in life (Ref. 529, 90102).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: oval.
Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Adults occur on rocky and coralline substrates at depths from near surface to 8 m (Ref. 529). Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).

Oviparous, distinct pairing (Ref. 205). Urogenital orifice of male genital papilla located basally between 2 widely separated slender filaments on a fleshy swelling behind anus; testes bulbous with length equal to its width (Ref. 529).
