Short description
Morfologia | Morfometria
Differs from all congeners by having the following characters: second ctenactinium with five serrae in adult males; 27 caudal vertebrae with no sexual dimorphism in the number of precaudal vertebrae; 15-20 teeth on paradentary; one and two known males are sinistral and dextral respectively (Ref. 90869).
Fertilization is internal and eggs are attached to the substrate via adhesive filaments (Ref. 43413).
