The lateral scales number 25-50, the heaf lacks scales and is naked while the body is covered in cycloid scales. It has a rounded caudal fin which is shorter than the length of its head.[3]

Conservation

Tomiyamichthys alleni is known from just 8 specimens and a number of photographs and very little is known about its actual distribution and population, the IUCN therefore assesses its status as Data Deficient.[1]
