Short description
Khóa để định loại | Hình thái học | Sinh trắc học
Các tia vây lưng cứng (tổng cộng) : 2; Các vây lưng mềm (tổng cộng) : 5 - 6; Tia cứng vây hậu môn: 0; Tia mềm vây hậu môn: 9; Động vật có xương sống: 34. Diagnosis: It differs from all other species of the genus Zaireichthys in the strongly rounded caudal fin, adipose fin reaching procurrent rays of caudal, and more closely spaced nostrils, closer together than distance of posterior nostril from eye (Ref. 86935). Further, it has a greatly expanded oral musculature, giving the head a characteristically bulbous appearance, and greatly enlarged jaw teeth (Ref. 51287).
Although the habitat was very rocky, specimens were only collected on the edge of a sandy area (Ref. 51287).
