Short description
Morfologi | Morfometri
Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt): 7; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt): 13-14; Taggstrålar i analfenan 1; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 12 - 13; Ryggkotor: 26. This species is distinguished by the following set of characters: D VI + I,13 (rarely I,14); anterior rim of posterior nostril raised, without well-developed flap; mainly cycloid on body; head and body pale, with reticulate mottling dorsally (Ref. 115539).
