	TEXTNOTE ID=1 TITLE=Characteristics TEXT='<h4>Diagnosis</h4>

A genus of miniature fishes (less than 20 mm SL) distinguished from other aspredinids by the following characters: presence of a dorsal spinelet and rigid dorsal-spine; anteriorly expanded supraoccipital; absence of a posterior cranial fontanel; posterior cartilage of palatine absent; 2 pectoral radials; horizontal bony lamina developed only on last three centra and compound ural centrum; and absence of procurrent caudal-fin rays. Other characters not unique to this taxon but useful for identification are: reduced ornamentation of skull roof, dorsal lamina of Weberian complex, and nuchal plates; jaws equal; pectoral fin with spine and 4 rays; dorsal fin with spine and 3 rays; dorsal- and anal-fin membranes not adnate with body; dorsal- and ventral-most principal caudal rays much shorter than others, infraorbital lateralis canal truncated; lateral line truncated at approximately the level of the dorsal fin origin.';
