Labrisomidae (Labrisomids)
Etymology: robertsoni: Named in recognition of the contributions by D. Ross Robertson of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute to the understanding of the diversity of shorefishes of the New World and his generous facilitation of collecting in Panama.
Eponymy: Edwin Chapin Starks (1867–1932) was an American ichthyologist who was an authority on the osteology of fish. [...] Dr David Ross Robertson (d: 1946) is an ichthyologist whose bachelor’s degree (1966) and doctorate (1974) were awarded by The University of Queensland, Australia.

Short description
Κλείδες προσδιορισμού | Μορφολογία | Μορφομετρία
Ραχιαίες άκανθες (συνολικά) : 19 - 20; Μαλακές ραχιαίες ακτίνες (συνολικά) : 7; Εδρικές άκανθες: 2; Μαλακές εδρικές ακτίνες: 16; Σπόνδυλοι: 31 - 32. This species of Starksia is distinguished by the following set of characters: orbital cirrus present; belly scaled; trunk pale to dark tan (dark orange/tan to bright orange in life), without distinct bars or other markings; lips without conspicuous white spotting in life; ventral surface of lower jaw of males with one to three dark blotches or bars in preserved specimens, lips without distinct banding or dark bars; dorsal-fin elements usually XX,7 – 27 total; vertebrae usually 10+22=32; dorsal spines + anal soft rays + vertebrae modally 75 (Ref. 86414).
Depth range (5-15 m) given by B. Victor (pers. comm. 10/18).
