Anaethalion has a strikingly spindle-shaped body and a large caudal fin that is deeply split with equally large lobes. The large dorsal fin is behind the middle of the body, the fish has a large anal fin. The pelvic fin is located slightly behind the middle of the body. It is a fast, small predator, which reaches body sizes up to about 20 cm.

Diagnosis by Kietzmann & Bressan, 2019: Lumbricaria with elongate, bending strings showing overlapping of different parts throughout its length. Cylindrical cross-section. Locally, short segments can appear straight (based on the description emended by Janicke 1970). Lumbricaria is a trace fossil which is interpreted as the fossilized excrement (coprolite) of cephalopods. This trace genus (Ichnogenus) occurs in the Solnhofen plate limestones and various other similar plate lime occurrences. In the Solnhofen plate limestones, it belongs to the relatively frequent fossils.

Several Late Jurassic macrosemiids are known from the Solnhofen limestones, including at least Notagogus, Histionotus, Voelklichthys and two species of Propterus. Taxonomy from Diagnosis from Bertram 1977, p. 193: " Notagogus reaching standard length of 70 mm; mean proportions as percentage of standard length: head length 33%, trunk depth 29 %, predorsal length 41 %; dorsal fin-ray count: ant. 10-14, post. 10-11; about 34 lateral line scales, only part of their hind borders bearing prominent serrations; no free fulcra on pectoral fin, very few fringing fulcra on first dorsal fin, fringing fulcra on anal fin."
