Etymology: patriciae: Named for Mrs. Patricia Eggleston, presumably the wife of the collector of the holotype, Dr. D. Eggleston.
Eponymy: Dr David Eggleston was Fisheries Research Officer at the Fisheries Research Station, Hong Kong. [...] Mrs Patricia Eggleston is, we believe, the wife of David Eggleston who collected the type and after whom the genus is named. (See Eggleston) (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 9. About 40 lateral scales and 35 predorsal scales, the latter reaching anteriorly between the orbits onto the snout, ending at the level of the anterior nasal openings, a transverse row of cheek papillae between the posterodorsal eye and the upper longitudinal row, another transverse row connecting the two longitudinal rows.

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00724 (0.00339 - 0.01546), b=3.10 (2.92 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.2 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
