Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 2 - 3; Dorsal soft rays (total): 6; Anal spines: 2 - 3; Anal soft rays: 6. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: one Canestrini scale on the pectoral fins of males, triangular in shape and with roundish outer border; branched fin rays of anal-fin usually 5 1/2, dorsal-fin 6 1/2, caudal fin 14; caudal fin base with no characteristic spots, but pale deeper pigmentation layer, irregular in shape, sometimes defined; scales on the body very small and visible only under magnification (Ref. 123403).
