Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 2; Dorsal soft rays (total): 6; Anal spines: 0. Diagnosis: first or second branched ray of dorsal fin longest but always shorter than head (comprised from 3.5 to 4.5 times in standard length), never filamentous; base of adipose fin shorter than, or equal to, dorsal fin base; 9-13 (often 10-11) gill rakers on lower limb of first gill arch; pectoral fins with 8 (sometimes 9) branched rays; like most other species of the genus, C. teugelsi shows a sexual dimorphism between mature males and immature specimens (Ref. 57126).
