Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 7; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 9; Spine anali: 1; Raggi anali molli: 8. This species is distinguished from all its congeners by the following set of characters: absence of head pores; scales in lateral series 23-26; preopercular papillae row (Row 20) is not continuous with transverse opercular papillae row (Row 21) (Ref. 93174).
Only four specimens where collected, three form the Comoros, a field station described as 'base of vertical wall with numerous caves' at 9-17 m, and one from South Africa collected at a depth of 26-28 m (Ref. 93174)..
