Short description Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri

Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 8; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 16; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 3; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 14. This species of the Equulites elongatus group is distinguished by the following set of characters: eye diameter 78-126% postorbital head length; distance from pelvic-fin insertion to center of anus 30-42% of the distance from pelvic-fin insertion to anal-fin origin; scales above lateral line 5-9, below 9-14; dorsolateral body with dark vermicular markings including 1-9 ring marks and 0-14 dark spots smaller than a half of pupil diameter; the tips of neural and hemal spines of fourth preural centrum is less expanding, distal expansion ratios of neural and hemal spines of the fourth preural centrum 2.3-3.8 (Ref. 120651).
