Chaves de identificação | Morfologia | Morfometria
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 11; Raios dorsais moles (total) : 11; Espinhos anais: 2; Raios anais moles: 11; Vértebras: 26. This species is distinguished by the following characters: with a rigid upper jaw lacking flexible lamina posteriorly, extending about 0.9 eye diameters behind posterior margin of orbit; infraorbitals are relatively slender and tubular, the third infraorbital with moderate posterolateral projecting arm ending with large sensory canal opening, no suborbital shelf; D XI,11; A II,11; vertebrae 10+16; gill rakers 12+25.
