This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: absence of paired spines on chin; proximal-middle radial of FAP curved, with cone-shaped hollow divided by lamellar septum; hollow shallow, its lower part of the hollow terminates at the midway between the upper part and the base of the first anal-spine; lateral wing well developed, extending from the upper part of hollow to the base of the anal-spine; anterior surface roundly convex; vane long, extending from the level of lateral wing to the base of anal-spine; membranous edge of opercle winth a prominent triangular tip; pectoral-fi tip not reaching the vertical level of anus; and lateral-line scales 53-56 (Ref. 138192) |
