Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 4; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8; Anal soft rays: 7. This species under subgenus Callionymus (Spinicapitichthys) is distinguished by the following characters: with preopercular spine have a very short, straight main tip; curved points 4-5 on its dorsal margin, a strong antrorse spine at its base; small serrae 5-8 at its ventral margin; dorsal margin of the eye with a tentacle, dorsal fin in the male without filaments, the first spine longest; D2 8; A 7; the first dorsal fin in the male zebra-striped, with 4 vertical dark bands on 1st-4th membranes (Ref. 129449).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

The species was collected at a depth of 90-228 m, but probably occurs in the shallower part of that range (Ref. 129449).
