Etymology: laterivittatus: From the Latin lateralis (meaning side, lateral) and vittatus (meaning with a strip or strips), alluding to the side of body with a longitudinal strip.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / distribuzione batimetrica / distribution range

Size / Peso / Age
Maturità: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 60.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 27732)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 4; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 8; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 5. Elongated median lobe on the lower lip reaching beyond an imaginary line between the corners of the mouth (in specimens > about 7 cm SL); the upper lip rolled upwards and backwards but without median lobe; a dark brown longitudinal stripe along middle side in adults; fins red in adults and paler in juveniles, usually 3+1/2 scale rows between the lateral line and the dorsal- fin origin (Ref. 27732). Having fewer lateral line scales (25) and predorsal scales (9); eye diameter small (14.6-19.7% of HL); eyes not visible in ventral view; supero-posterior margin of dorsal deeply concave; isthmus with visible, small scales; gill rakers 19-22 (Ref. 13848).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
Large adults are found in deep pools; juveniles were most frequently found in shallow areas with sandy substrate (Ref. 27732). Its meat becomes poisonous to eat after feeding on the fruits of certain trees (Ref. 43281). Reaches up to at least 60 cm SL (Ref. 27732).
