Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 6 - 8; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 7 - 9; Espinas anales: 1; Radios blandos anales: 7 - 9; Vértebra: 30 - 32. Anterior oculoscapular and preopercular head canals present; scales mostly restricted to axillary patch, but with scattered scales along lateral midline of caudal peduncle. Males with numerous thin vertical striae on flank.
