Kurzbeschreibung
Bestimmungsschlüssel | Morphologie | Morphometrie
Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 5; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 4; Wirbelzahl: 20. Jaws short, strongly curved. Mouth narrow. Face strongly upturned; gape nearly vertical; rostrum very abbreviated, tipped upward, set back to anterior margin of eyes. Outline of disk oval, cranium slightly elevated above general disk surface. Tail slender, tapered toward caudal. Esca with ventral lobes lentil-shaped, dorsal lobe folded and wrinkled. Illicial cavity small with esca slightly exerted from illicial opening. Cephalic lateral line scale counts: preopercular 2; subopercular 5; dorsolateral branch of subopercular 3; supraorbital 3. Lateral line scale counts on body 9-10; tail 13. Ventral surface of disk, except the lateral line scales on either side of anus, and skin around eyeballs without tubercles, Gill rakers cone-shaped with tiny teeth clustered distally on each. Paired fins small and weak. Dorsal and anal fins somewhat abraded but clearly small; anal fin lappet-like (Ref. 40825).
