Short description
Κλείδες προσδιορισμού | Μορφολογία | Μορφομετρία
Ραχιαίες άκανθες (συνολικά) : 11; Μαλακές ραχιαίες ακτίνες (συνολικά) : 23 - 24; Εδρικές άκανθες: 2; Μαλακές εδρικές ακτίνες: 6 - 8. This species is distinguished from all its congeners in the Atlantic by the following set of characters: a terminal and slightly oblique mouth; D1 XI; lack of diverticula on anterior chamber of gas bladder; differs from other species that lack diverticula: from S. punctatissimus which has a deeper body and a subterminal to inferior mouth, from S. menezesi with an elongated body and an inferior mouth, and from S. gomezi which has a more elongated body and a subterminal to inferior mouth (Ref. 125562).
Cross section: compressed.
