Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 7; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 9; Spine anali: 2; Raggi anali molli: 8 - 9. Opercular spine present. Horizontal diameter of the eye is less than the postorbital part of the head. Body deep (24-32 percent SL) (Ref. 31632). Caudal fin weakly forked, with rather deep caudal peduncle (Ref. 27363).
