Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 5 - 6; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 3 - 4. This species is distinguished by the following characters: large flat bucklers cover on ventral surface of disc and caudal peduncle; teeth on vomer form a very wide band; elongated subopercular buckler slightly curved, with 2 forward-directed spines at tip; pectoral-fin rays 14-15 (mainly 15) (Ref. 92977).
