Short description
Morfologia | Morfometria
Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 9; Raggi anali molli: 16 - 19; Vertebre: 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).
