Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 7.3 cm TL পুরুষ/ লিঙ্গ অনিধর্ারিত ; (Ref. 4494); 44.0 cm TL (female)
পৃষ্ঠীয় কাঁটা (মোট ) : 1; পৃষ্ঠীয় নরম পাখনা দন্ড (মোট ) : 4 - 5; পায়ূ কাঁটা : 0; পায়ূর নরম পাখনা্তুন্ড: 4; কশেরুকা : 20. A large median and two small lateral oval caruncles immediately in front of origin of dorsal fin (Ref. 13608). Branchiostegal rays: 6 (Ref. 36494).
Males dwarfed, becoming parasitic on females. Maximum size of free-living males is 1.05 cm (Ref. 4494). Females are oviparous, with planktonic larvae (Ref. 36494). Eggs are presumably contained in floating gelatinous rafts (Ref. 36494 ).
