Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Vértebra: 107 - 112. This small-sized moray is distinguished by the following characters: body moderately elongated; anus at mid-length of body; intermaxillary teeth in five rows; maxillary and dentary teeth biserial, the inner rows not extending to the posterior end of jaws; one branchial pore; total vertebrae 107-112 . Colouration: body uniformly brown or covered with small, pale inconspicuous blotches; the anterior nostril, oral cavity, and
head pores whitish (Ref. 131362).
Caught from a flat sandy, intertidal zone covered with seagrass (depth range estimated from its occurrence in the intertidal zone) using baited small bamboo traps (locally known as ‘bantak’ in the Philippines) (Ref. 131362).
