Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 7 - 9; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 6 - 9. Pale with numerous small, dark-gray and black spots and vermiculations on sides; no markings on venter; prominent black spot just above pectoral fin base; fins dusky, the margins transparent. Equal numbers of teeth in each jaw, the canines strong and longer than the four pairs of incisors; middle pair of incisors smooth-edged, the outer ones trifid; posterior nostril in front of anterior margin of orbit; gill membrane attached opposite upper edge of pectoral fin; anus closer to anal-fin origin than to rear margin of disc.
Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Occurs along shallow coastal shores, where it probably clings to rocks of the substratum.
