Short description
Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale): 7; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 20; Spine anali 3; Raggi anali molli: 16 - 17; Vertebre: 2 - 26. This species is distinguished by the following characters: dorsal fin with 20 segmented rays; anal fin with modally 16 segmented; relatively long lateral line, 1.8-2.3 (mean= 2.0) in SL; a relatively reduced scalation on interorbital, suborbital and dentary; HL 2.3-2.4 in SL, peduncle depth 4.2-5.0 in HL (Ref. 116906).
A cryptic species found in outer reef slopes (Ref. 116906).
