Diagnosis |
Differs from other species of the genus by the following combination of characters: 17-21 branched anal fin rays, predorsal length (52.5-55.4% SL), preventral length (47.8-51.0% SL), preanal length (63.0-68.8% SL), caudal peduncle length (12.3-14.3% SL) and eye diameter (33.1-37.0% HL). Further differs by having seven to ten dentary teeth decreasing in size gradually, inner premaxillary teeth wider distally; one vertically elongated black humeral spot, separated from a second posterior one by 3 or 4 scales; narrow lateral band becoming wider below middle of dorsal fin base (Ref. 55781). |
