Short description Morfologi | Morfometri

This species is distinguished by having black pigmentation along the entire sole and possibly have a darker or more blackish body color compared to congeners (scale pockets are darker); and the black streak on the sole possibly consists of distinct patches posteriorly . The holotype is slightly damaged on the sole and variation of its pigmentation pattern must be assessed with future fresh material (Ref. 111070).
