Etymology: Platygillellus: Greek, platys = flat + Theodore Nicolas Gill (1837-1914) researcher of abyssal fishes and systematics (Ref. 45335).
Milieu: milieu / Klimaatzone / Diepte / verspreidingsgebied
Ecologie
marien rifbewoner; diepte 0 - 30 m (Ref. 27742). Tropical; - 9°N
Western Atlantic: southern Florida, USA and Bahamas to Panama.
Grootte / Gewicht / Leeftijd
Maturiteit: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 6.4 cm TL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 7251)
Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 16 - 17; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 15 - 16; Anale stekels: 2; Anale zachte stralen: 25 - 26. Pale tan or white with 4 broad reddish-brown bands on side between nape and caudal fin base. Dorsal and caudal fin rays have dark spots. 3 spines in dorsal finlet (Ref. 26938).
