Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
This species is characterized by the following: suborbital bones 5; suborbital canal with 6-8 small pores; first epibranchial fan-shaped; palatopterygoid series reduced; supraoccipital broadly contacting exoccipital; posttemporal with weak ventral ramus; upper lip continuous at symphysis; palatine teeth, pelvic fins, and scales present; incomplete lateral line with only a few free neuromasts or, if present, its configuration mediolateral, absent on posterior half of body; vertebrae 18-22 + 78-83=97-104; oval and pale spots arranged along ventral half of body (Ref. 58361).
