Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal soft rays (total): 7 - 8; Anal soft rays: 20 - 25; Vertebrae: 33 - 35. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: complete lateral line; caudal fin lobes with sparse chromatophores and absence of basal blotches; 20-25 branched rays in the anal-fin (mode 23); single humeral spot; conspicuous round humeral blotch; hyaline dorsal-fin; 4 or 5 rows of scales between the lateral line and the dorsal-fin origin; 12 or 13 scales in the median series between the tip of the supraoccipital spine and the dorsal-fin origin; 3 to 5 maxillary teeth; 3 or 4 tricuspid teeth in the premaxillary outer row; 3 to 5 maxillary teeth; 3 to 5 cusps on the teeth of the inner row of the premaxilla; 12 circumpeduncular scales; and total vertebrae 33-35, mode 34 (Ref. 128405).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
