Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 7; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 9; Espinas anales: 1; Radios blandos anales: 8. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following combination of set of characters: D VI + I,9, the second spine of first dorsal fin longest but not elongate; A I,8;
pectoral-fin rays 14-15, all rays unbranched; longitudinal scale series 25; head and predorsal midline scaleless with side of nape scaled; interorbital shallowly concave, bony width 46% of pupil diameter; developed transverse pattern of sensory papillae rows on cheek; interorbital space with anterior and posterior transverse rows of papillae; pelvic fins are mostly separated with height of basal membrane between innermost pelvic-fin rays 10.7% of length of fifth ray; unbranched fifth pelvic-fin ray, its length 47% length of fourth ray; body and most of itss head are brownish orange densely covered with melanophores; snout, lips, chin, and chest are black; iris black; fins translucent with narrow black stripe along the base of first and second dorsal fins.(Ref. 111071).
