Burma Hairfin Anchovy

Belly with 15 + 6 or 7 = 21 or 22 keeled scutes from isthmus to anus. Lower gill rakers with their serrae in distinct clumps. Pectoral filament long, reaching to base of 45th to 51st anal fin ray; upper caudal lobe truncated, shorter than lower.

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Analspines: 0; Analsoft rays: 69 - 74

A riverine species, but probably tolerating some salinity in estuaries, thus similar to S. phasa. More data needed.
