Etymology: Leiognathus: Greek, leios = smooth + Greek, gnathos = jaw (Ref. 45335); robustus: Named for the robust nature and large size of the species when compared to all congeners except L. equulus and L. fasciatus; an adjective.

Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 8; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 16; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 14. This species is distinguished from Leiognathus equulus (the only other species of leiognathid known to possess a non-sexually dimorphic light organ system) by the having no occipital hump (vs. pronounced hump); with a mildly sloping predorsal profile (vs. strongly curved, creating the image of an arched back); with frontal and lateral ethmoid ossifications that project anterodorsally and extend well anterior of the orbit to form a distinct preorbital protuberance (vs. slight bulge above orbit); and unexposed nuchal spine in lateral view (vs. exposed and projecting, particularly distally) (Ref. 76780).

50 = 0.5039 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01738 (0.00800 - 0.03777), b=3.06 (2.87 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.0 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref.
