In Silurichthys species, the eyes are small and under the skin. It is likely sexual dimorphism is present in all species, based on species where there enough specimens available. Mature males of all species have a broad and somewhat flattened pectoral fin spine with "serrae" (saw-like teeth); in females and juveniles, the spine is slender and has no spines. The largest species grow to a maximum of 15 or.
