Short description
Morfologi | Morfometri
Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt): 5-6; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 4. Metamorphosed females of Bufoceratias thele differ from those of Bufoceratias shaoi in having a much smaller esca and a longer illicium (112-143% standard length versus 26-40% standard length), and from those of Bufoceratias wedli in lacking escal appendages (Ref. 51070).
Males and larvae unknown (Ref. 51070). Specimens caught in bottom trawls (Ref. 86949).
