Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 26; Vertebrae: 32. Distinguished from all other species of the genus by the following combination of characters: pelvic-fin length 1.69-1.79 in HL, in adult specimens greater than 30 cm SL; bony bucklers along bases of spinous and soft-rayed portions of dorsal fin 3-4+5-6; bucklers along ventral body margin anterior to pelvic fin and between pelvic- and anal-fin origins, and along anal-fin base 5-6+6-7+5-6; and vertebrae 32 (13 abdominal + 19 caudal); dorsal fin with 7 spines; and anal fin with first 2 spines movable and 3rd spine immovable, fused with its pterygiophore (Ref. 76779).
