Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 5 - 6; Anale zachte stralen: 4. Metamorphosed females of Bufoceratias thele differ from those of Bufoceratias shaoi in having a much smaller esca and a longer illicium (112-143% standard length versus 26-40% standard length), and from those of Bufoceratias wedli in lacking escal appendages (Ref. 51070).
Males and larvae unknown (Ref. 51070). Specimens caught in bottom trawls (Ref. 86949).
