Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 5; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 8; Anale stekels: 3; Anale zachte stralen: 9. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following characters: body dark bluish grey dorsally and the sides are blue; head length 20.5-21.6% SL; head width 13-13.5% SL; pre-first dorsal fin length 50% SL; eye diameter 4.6-5.2% SL; postorbital length 10.7-11.1% SL; unbranched pyloric caeca are 2 short and 4 long; a pair of long (one longer than the other), spine-like neural postzygapophyse on the second vertebra. Further distinguished by having adipose eyelid not thick, not extending onto iris; upper lip very deep; corner of mouth cleft not reaching to below front nostril; body elongated and spindle-shaped; 2 dorsal fins small and widely separated (D1 IV, D2 I,8); head flattened (Ref. 119354).

50 = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00513 (0.00211 - 0.01248), b=3.10 (2.89 - 3.31), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trofisch niveau (Ref.
