Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 10.8 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 122105); common length : 8.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 3424)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 8; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 16; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 14. This species is distinguished by having the following set of characters: fully scaled breast; naked cheek; anteroventral profile of lower jaw is almost straight; a distinct, jet-black blotch distally on the spinous dorsal fin (Ref. 74926).
