Etymology: Phalloceros: Greek, phallos = penis + Greek, keras = horn (Ref. 45335);  mikrommatos: From the Greek adjective 'mikrommatos', meaning small-eyed, in reference to the lateral spot, which is rounded and has an external light right..

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 8-9; Anal soft rays: 9 - 11; Vertebrae: 31 - 32. Diagnosed from other species of the genus Phalloceros by the first gonapophysis angled 5-15 degrees relative to vertebral column and second gonapophysis angled zero-15 degrees relative to vertebral column. Differs further from its congeners, except Phalloceros leticiae and Phalloceros ocellatus, by the roundish to round and well-defined ocellated lateral spot. Distinguished from Phalloceros leticiae and Phalloceros ocellatus by the number of anal-fin rays in females (11 vs. 10, respectively) (Ref. 76852).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00813 (0.00354 - 0.01865), b=3.16 (2.97 - 3.35), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.0   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
