Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal soft rays (total): 8; Anal soft rays: 5. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: the second primary vertical bar (PB2) is situated beneath the anterior origin of the dorsal-fin in females and subadult males; vertical bars are distinct and extend to the end of the ventral abdomen in juveniles; vertical bars gradually vanish with increasing age in adult males; vertical bars gradually recede above the lateral line with increasing age in adult females; slender last unbranched dorsal-fin ray, with smooth posterior margin; intestinal coiling is folded and elongated (Ref. 133108).
