Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Upper lip with papillae and without cleft anteriorly and m Upper lip with papillae and without cleft anteriorly and midlaterally. Second dorsal fin with 1 spine and 10 segmented rays. The general pattern of the female resembles that of a female Stiphodon, with a yellowish body background and a light dusky black band extending midlaterally from posterior of pectoral base and ending as a spot posterior to hypural base. Scales in lateral series 55-59, in transverse forward 14-16 and in predorsal 18-20.idlaterally. Second dorsal fin with 1 spine and 10 segmented rays.

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01122 (0.00514 - 0.02450), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
