Description Distribution: Indo-West Pacific from South Africa to Hawaii. Lower jaw fringed with a row of cirri. A knob projecting backward at the articulation of lower jaw. Snout fleshy and jutting beyond lower jaw. Lateral line goes down to ventral surface gradually or abruptly. Scales in lateral line often with three-lobed posterior extensions, except the most anterior scales. A few species largely scaleless, except for lateral line scales. Dorsal fin with 12-43 unbranched soft rays. One spine in pelvic fin; soft rays 3-5. One species without fins. Pelvics very close to each other. Cornea folding in at junction of skin and cornea. Slightly bulging eyes. Opercular bone very much splintered. About 8 cm maximum length. [details]
