Краткое описание
определительные ключи | морфология | морфометрия
членистые (мягкие) лучи спинного плавника (общее число) : 66 - 72; членистые (мягкие) лучи анального плавника: 53 - 57; позвонки: 40 - 41. The species is distinguished by the following characters: very small eyes (1.1-1.6% SL in diameter); no upper preopercular pore; robust head, length 27.0-29.6%SL); narrow scale band on cheek with 1-2 scale rows on lower par; anterior inner pseudoclasper submerged in pocket of isthmus; otolith with fused colliculi (Ref. 55786).
The minute eyes are indicative that it could be a cave species, but so far collected only on coral reefs. A 31 mm SL female was found with a 3.7 mm long bilobed ovary containing 50 eggs, with 0.4 mm diameter (Ref. 55786).
