Short description
Κλείδες προσδιορισμού | Μορφολογία | Μορφομετρία
Ραχιαίες άκανθες (συνολικά) : 0; Μαλακές ραχιαίες ακτίνες (συνολικά) : 9 - 10; Εδρικές άκανθες: 0; Μαλακές εδρικές ακτίνες: 20 - 21; Σπόνδυλοι: 31 - 32. Diagnosis: Distinguished from all congeners except Phenacogrammus deheyni and P. concolor by the presence of a prominent anterior expansion of the first pleural rib; it is further distinguished from all congeners in the possession of 6 supraneural bones vs. 7, and a characteristic zigzag pattern of black pigmentation along and below the midline extending from the posterior border of the opercle to the base of the caudal peduncle (Ref. 127185).
