Dorsal fin long, single, with IX spines and 10 rays, second spine elongate, more than half of SL; anal fin with III spines and 7 rays; pectoral fin with 15-16 rays (17 in one specimen); pelvic fin with I spine and 5 rays. Gill rakers short, 4 + 8 on first arch; upper gill rakers shorter than lower. Pectoral fin long and pointed, reaching to anal fin origin; caudal fin deeply forked. Sides of head and body covered with large cycloid to finely ctenoid deciduous scales; lateral line scales 40 or 41 to caudal fin base, with 3-4 scales on caudal fin; 3 rows of cheek scales; 4½ scale rows between lateral line and 5 th dorsal spine base. Normally the second dorsal fin in G. infasciatus is more than 50% of SL.
