Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie
Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 34; Rayons mous anaux: 21; Vertèbres: 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).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep; Cross section: compressed.
