Short description
Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri
Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 0; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 9; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 0; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 11; Ryggkotor: 26. Lower jaw sharply upturned, nearly perpendicular to body axis; teeth conical rather than tricuspid as in all Lebias species except L. asquamatus; cephalic neuromast system open, not in closed canals as in the L. dispar and L. fasciatus groups; interarcual cartilage absent versus present in all congeners except L. asquamatus; pectoral fins obliquely set rather than horizontal as in all congeners; large size, approaching 9.1 cm TL versus maximum body size of 7.0 cm TL for congeners (Ref. 39284).
