Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 1; Dorsal soft rays (total): 6; Anal soft rays: 8 - 9. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: presence of plicate ventral surface of pectoral-fin spine and first pelvic-fin ray; thoracic adhesive apparatus completely encinctured by striae; dorsal-fin spine (13.7-16.1% SL); dorsal-fin base (12.0-13.1% SL); absence of irregular blotches on dorso-lateral surface of body; adipose-fin base (12.8-15.0% SL); post-adipose distance (20.8-22.2% SL); body (17.1-19.6% SL); serrated posterior margin of dorsal-fin spine; rhomboidal thoracic adhesive apparatus with a triangular central depression; anal-fin base (16.4-20.3 % SL), and inter orbital (23.6-26.0% SL) (Ref. 138710).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: oval.
