Short description पहचान कुंजी | आकृति विज्ञान | मौरफोमैटरिक्स

जानवरों की रीड़ का जोड़: 94 - 99. This species is distinguished by the following characters: differs from the geographically adjacent Neoconger torrei in the total number of vertebrae, 94-99 (vs. 104-107); differs from N. anaelisae in the number of predorsal vertebrae, 38-44 (vs. 32-34); differs from N. hygomi in the number of predorsal vertebrae 38-44 (vs. 48), preanal vertebrae 43-47 (vs. 55), precaudal vertebrae ca. 50-52 (vs. 58), and total vertebrae 94-99 (vs. 107); differs from N. vermiformis in the number of predorsal vertebrae 38-44 (vs. 34-38), preanal vertebrae 43-47 (vs. 41-44), and precaudal vertebrae ca. 50–52 (vs. 45–ca 49). The larvae have a sharp intestinal loop; with posterior lateral melanophore present, while the anterior ventral melanophore is absent (Ref. 133039).
Body shape (shape guide): eel-like; Cross section: oval.
