Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 8; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 9; Spine anali: 1; Raggi anali molli: 6. This species is distinguished by the following characters: D VIII + 9; pectoral fins 14-17; gill rakers 7-9 + 17-20 = 25-28; lateral-line scales 33-35; body moderately deep to deep. Measurements as % SL: body depth at anal-fin origin 24-28; maximum head depth 24-28; head depth through eye 18-21; suborbital depth 11-13; head length 30-34; snout length 11-13; postorbital length 12-13; upper-jaw length 13-14; barbel length 18-24; barbel width 0.9-1.4; caudal-peduncle length 17-21; second dorsal-fin base length 14-17; caudal-fin length 29-32; length of anal-fin base 9.1-11; anal-fin height 17-18; pelvic-fin length 19-22; pectoral-fin length 27-30; pectoral-fin width 4.4-5.7; first dorsal-fin height 25-27; first two dorsal-fin spines protruding; second dorsal-fin height 18-20. Colouration: caudal fin pale red, no bars, with dark margin on upper lobe forming a dark lobe tip and a white margin on lower lobe forming a white lobe tip; white margin on lower lobe bordered inside by a dark contrasting margin; dorsal fin red with black distal margins formed by dark-pigmented spine and ray tips, first two elongated long spines on dorsal fin forming a dark tip; head and body pale rose to reddish, darker dorsally, especially on head; paired and anal fins are pale rose-whitish hyaline, anal fin sometimes with pale gray area centrally; barbels white, pale when preserved; dark pigmentation on dorsal, caudal, and anal fins at least partially retained when preserved, body and head uniformly brown or pale brown, becoming darker dorsally in preservative (Ref. 138759).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep; Cross section: compressed.
