Older descriptions of the genera emphasized the length of the snout (elongated in Sturisoma), but this trait is not reliable across species.

Sturisomatichthys has its central abdominal plates less organized, not arranged in clearly-defined longitudinal series; dark spots usually present on one or more of the dorsal-, pectoral-, pelvic, or anal-fins; and 15–18 lateral plates in median series.
