Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 15 - 17; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 9 - 11; Espinas anales: 1; Radios blandos anales: 17 - 21; Vértebra: 34 - 35. Diagnosis: Dorsal fin III + XI-XII+ 8-9, 2nd fin twice height of 1st; anal fin I + 16-18; pectoral rays 15 (1+7+7); pelvic fin I, 2, spine short and hidden, segmented rays simple, partially united by membrane. Vertebrae 10 + 24-25. LL total lateral scales 32-35; pored 20-22 scales, ends below 3rd dorsal fin; nape, belly, 1st and 2nd dorsal fin and anterior anal-fin base scaleless. Mandibular pores 2-3+1+2-3. Orbital cirrus small. Head length 3.5 in SL; eye 2.7, maxilla 2.1 in HL. Head, male masked ventrally, female with few dark spots. Fins pale, D1 with dusky distal margin. Live color unknown (Ref. 75031).
