Short description
Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri
Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 0; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 0; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 0; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 4 - 5; Ryggkotor: 41. Diagnosed from its congeners by having diminutive eyes, posterior naris absent, presence of a triangular skin flap at mouth corner, dorsal and ventral fin fold deep and extending forward on the head to a vertical through tip of pectoral fin. Differs from Pygidianops magoi by
