Etymology: Dentex: Latin, dens, dentis = teeth (Ref. 45335); abei: Named after the late Dr. Tokiharu Abe, who studied many Japanese fish species and was aware of the uniqueness of the species.
Eponymy: Professor Tokiharu Abe (1911–1996) was a Japanese ichthyologist at University Museum, University of Tokyo. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 12; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 8; Vertebrae: 24. This species is distinguished by the following characters: D XII, 10; 14 pectoral fin rays; small orbit diameter (in head length, 3.09-4.09, mean 3.66); blunt snout angle (79°-83°, mean 81°); body prominent pinkish-red with silvery reflection, between each horizontal scale row below lateral line are 5-6 bright cobalt or blue small-spotted lines that are visible only from oblique dorsal view, similar line of small blue spots rising obliquely above lateral line; eye with uniformly reddish-gold sheen; absence of a prominent yellow blotch in the anterior nostril and snout region; dorsal fin rays with saffron-yellow membrane but each ray is reddish-yellow (Ref. 75039).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep; Cross section: compressed.
