Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 7; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 11; Spine anali: 1; Raggi anali molli: 9. Large ocellated black spot in the first dorsal fin at all growth stages. Banded color pattern consisting of narrow grey bars on a yellow background. Lacks opercular scales at all sizes, and tends to have fewer lateral, transverse, and predorsal scales than either P. cinctus or P. squamogena.
