Short description
Κλείδες προσδιορισμού | Μορφολογία | Μορφομετρία
Evenly covered by closely set pale spots on a darker background. Subopercular lateral-line scales usually 5-7. Differs from pumilus in having larger body size and fleshy pads on the ventral tips of the pectoral rays (absent in pumilus) (Ref. 40824).
Found typically on sandy bottoms (Ref. 27549).
