Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 7 - 9; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 8 - 10; Spine anali: 1; Raggi anali molli: 10 - 11; Vertebre: 38 - 41. This species is distinguished by the following set of characters: premaxillary ascending process is long and somewhat narrow, widest point at proximal half; posterior part of maxilla almost straight, not slanting down, with angular upper posterior corner; palatines toothless; anus positioned slightly anterior to pelvic-fin tip (including holotype) or just at the tip (rarely); head length 28-31% SL; upper jaw length 10-11% SL; eye diameter 11-12% SL; postorbital length of head 10-12% SL; distance from snout to pectoral fin tip 45-49% SL; midlateral band is almost straight (Ref. 92295).
Collected with a stick held dip net (Ref. 92295).
