Short description
Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri
The species is distinguished from all its congeners by its remarkably long and acutely angled
snout, with horizontal preorbital length 17.2-–22.6% TL (vs. 8.5-11.9% TL) and 4.2-6.1 (vs. 1.7-3.5) times orbit length, snout angle 65-85? (vs. 90-150?); with plain dorsal coloration; with an external clasper component dike; with four dorsal terminal (dt) cartilages (Ref. 131089).
