Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Vertebrae: 68 - 69. This species is distinguished by the following characters: total vertebrae 68-69; pectoral-fin rays 20-21, no rudimentary rays; 7 caudal-fin rays; radials 2+0+1; chin pores almost touching, in a deep transversely oval pigmented pit appearing to be a pore, with a pair of rudimentary pores symmetrically located immediately posterior to the pit; short head short, about 16% SL; upper jaw about half its head length (HL); teeth simple canines forming moderately wide bands; snout about a quarter HL (Ref. 95901).
The holotype apparently has ripe eggs up to 4.2 mm in diameter (Ref. 95901).
