Short description
Morphology | Morphometrics
Can be diagnosed from its congeners by the combination of the following characters: rhomboidal thoracic adhesive apparatus with a conspicuous central depression, longitudinally elongated and with a constriction at mid-length; ventral surface of pectoral spine and outer rays of pelvic fins pleated; and two horizontal creamish stripes against dark brown body (Ref. 86532).
