Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 34; Radios blandos anales: 21; Vértebra: 38. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following characters: presence of multiple fingerlike papillae present along dorsal margin of hyoid arch and at articulation of interhyal and posterior ceratohyal; elongated pharyngobranchial teeth (vs. short, stout pharyngobranchial teeth); and high gill raker counts (22-26 vs. 18-22) (Ref. 94277).
