Nephros at about myomere 52 (50-57); laterally compressed teeth; absence of crescentic pigment patch under eye; compared to Paraconger - relatively lower myomere count, more regular midlateral pigment, and relatively smaller size (<130.0 mm). Pigmentation: Evenly spaced series on lateral midline; dorsal and ventral series on gut; 3-4 over heart; 2 on lower jaw; on dorsal fin, caudal fin and anal fin bases. Sequence of fin development: caudal, dorsal, anal and pectorals. |
