Tamaño / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 7.5 cm SL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 189)
Espinas dorsales (total) : 0; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 19 - 22. Body moderately compressed and slender. Snout short, about 3/4 the eye diameter; maxilla long, its tip sharply pointed, reaching almost to the gill opening; gill cover canals of the walkeri-type. A silver stripe is on the sides.
A schooling species occurring in coastal waters. Apparently common (at least in August, but not in July). Specimens with well developed eggs were taken in June, 1927, suggesting a summer spawning period.
