Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 8; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 16; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 14; Vertebre: 24. The ventrolateral surface of the body scaled anterior to a line from pectoral fin base to pelvic fin origin. Smooth supraorbital ridge (Ref. 39894).
Nothing is known on its ecology except specimens were collected from coastal waters shallower than about 13 m depth along with Gazza minuta (Ref. 39894).
