Short description
Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total): 16 - 18; Radios blandos dorsales (total): 8-9; Espinas anales 3; Radios blandos anales: 7 - 9. Distinguished from other known species with horizontal stripes in snout shape, male coloration, and very acute dental arcade with sharp gradation in size of teeth from symphysis outwards. Closely resembles L. maculicauda but has a steeper snout, more acute dental arcade, fewer vertical bars, and different fin markings and coloration. Teeth in both jaws slender, elongate, and recurved. Pharyngeal teeth slender.
Occurs over rocky substrate (Ref. 6307).
