Merodoras also is diagnosed by the unique combination of the following characteristics: pectoral girdle entirely exposed ventrally, with the opening for the arrector ventralis inferior reduced to a small fossae on anterior edge of coracoid; caudal fin truncate; dorsal-fin spine smooth, without serrae; lacrimal serrated; lateral ethmoid serrated (Ref. 58340) Higuchi, H., J.L.O.
