Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 9; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 10; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 8; Vertebre: 23. This species is distinguished by the following characters: Dorsal rays IX, 10; anal rays III, 8; pectoral rays 13; lateral-line interrupted, with pored scales to caudal-fin base 16 + 7; gill rakers 4 + 8; body moderately elongate, with depth about 3.4 in SL; head length about 2.5 in SL; snout long and pointed, about 2.5 in head; dorsal profile of snout nearly straight, of nape slightly convex; lower jaw slightly projecting; maxilla ending a half-eye diameter before anterior margin of orbit; caudal fin (of adult male) slightly rounded, the upper 3 principal rays a little prolonged; membranes of spinous part of dorsal fin incised one-third to one-half length of spines; pectoral fins short, about 3.2 in head; body below lateral line with 12 narrow, slightly irregular, dark brown stripes separated by white lines; body above lateral line with
similar but more irregular bands; head with narrow dark brown bands radiating from eye except anteriorly; snout bluish gray with brown dots; a blackish blotch on basal half of first membrane of dorsal fin (Ref. 56651).
Occurs on deep reefs (Ref. 56651). Feeds on crustaceans and fishes (Ref. 89972).
