Description Otolith size 1.7 mm in length; OL:OH = 1.2; OH:OT = 2.5. Ventral rim straight, horizontal and posterior rim straight, vertical forming orthogonal angle. Dorsal rim regularly curved, anteriorly depressed, highest posteriorly at moderately developed postdorsal angle; no postdorsal projection. Preventral projection pointed, distinct; posterior rim without indentation. All rims smooth, slight concavity on dorsal rim behind obtuse postdorsal angle.

Inner face slightly bent. Sulcus relatively long, very narrow, shallow, with very low ostial lobe; OL:SuL = 1.8; sulcus inclination angle 16°. Subcaudal iugum short, wide,

nearly oval in shape. Dorsal depression indistinct. Ventral furrow distinct, close to ventral rim of otolith. Outer face distinctly convex, more than inner face, smooth.
