Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie
Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 9; Rayons mous anaux: 16 - 19; Vertèbres: 33 - 34. This species can be distinguished from its congeners by having an interrupted lateral line, besides a single perforated scale on caudal peduncle and a small dark spots on dorsal procurrent caudal-fin rays (Ref. 121599).
