Grootte / Gewicht / Leeftijd
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 11.0 cm TL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 5217); common length : 9.0 cm TL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 5217)
Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 0; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 15 - 16; Anale stekels: 0; Anale zachte stralen: 10 - 18. Body slightly compressed; snout moderate, about 3/4 eye diameter; maxilla short with bluntly rounded tip, failing to reach pre-operculum by 1/2 pupil diameter; pseudobranch short, about 3/4 eye diameter; panamensis-type gill cover canals. Anal fin origin slightly behind base of last dorsal fin ray. A bright silver stripe along flank, about 3/4 or almost equal to eye, dark bordered above (Ref. 189). Body pale, few melanophores above, row of anal melanophores along anal-fin base. Eye orangish above, top of head with green and gold reflections (Ref. 7251).
Occurs in coastal waters, apparently not entering brackish water. Rare in Florida shore seine collections, but 'in great numbers under a night light', perhaps because it may stay some distance from the shore in daytime.
