Descrição breve
Chaves de identificação | Morfologia | Morfometria
Vértebras: 24 - 25. This elongate (depth 25.1-27.8% of SL), relatively small (<30 mm SL) species is distinguished by the following set of characters: presence of anguloarticular lateralis canal; four lateralis canal foramina on dentary; two infraorbital bones, second with three foramina; serrated posttemporal, supracleithrum and preoperculum; bi- or tri-serial jaw dentition; no scales on anterior chest region; males with low dorsal fin, caudal fin elongately rounded, soft dorsal, anal and pelvic fins with prolonged tips; a unique colour pattern with two horizontal bands on side, converging posteriorly and anteriorly, a ventrally widened suborbital stripe continued across branchiostegal membrane and 3 spots associated with pectoral fin base (2 on medial side of axilla, 1 on lateral side on bases of rays) (Ref. 86447).
Eggs are deposited on the ceiling of caves and are tendered by the female parent (Ref. 47893). Attains a maximum length 2.92 cm SL (Ref. 98797).
