Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal soft rays (total): 8; Anal soft rays: 5 - 6; Vertebrae: 28 - 29. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: eyes absent and vestigially replaced by an orbital concavity being fully closed by an epidermal layer, while lacking the orbital rim; relatively long pectoral and pelvic fins, with their adpressed tips each extending past the vertical through the insertion or origin of the next fin posterior to the tip, as to further pass posteriorly about two scales in anteroposterior; relatively short and rounded axillary pelvic-fin scale present, with tip not reaching posterior edge of pelvic-fin base; head length 32.9–35.3% of SL; pre-pectoral fin length 32.6–33.6% of SL; pre-pelvic fin length 54.0–59.6% of SL; pectoral fin length 26.0–31.4% of SL; pelvic fin length 21.5–24.4% of SL; anal-fin base length 9.7–11.8% of SL; caudal peduncle depth 13.2–18.2% of SL; body without pigmentation (black dots, bars, stripes, blotches, and triangular markings all absent from lateral surface); all fins with translucent interradial membrane and light cream to brownish rays (Ref. 133054).
