🔬 Taxonomy

🐟 Physical Description

Dorsal soft rays (total): 8 - 9; Anal soft rays: 25 - 30; Vertebrae: 38 - 39. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following characters: with anterior midlateral stripe reaching the caudal peduncle blotch (vs. stripe reaching the dorsal-fin region); proximal half of second unbranched dorsal-fin ray is densely pigmented (vs. hyaline or barely pigmented); caudal peduncle blotch round (vs. triangular); complete lateral line (vs. incomplete); higher number of longitudinal scales, 37-38 (vs. 31-33 in lindeae, 33-36 in lu); ventral margin of third infraorbital bone surpassing anterodorsal margin of preopercle (vs. usually reaching that point); precaudal vertebrae 13 (vs. 12); differs further from lu, by the dense concentration of dark brown chromatophores over the first unbranched dorsal and all unbranched anal-fin rays (vs. unbranched fin rays of both poorly pigmented); with two symmetrical conspicuous small dark blotches at the base of the caudal-fin rays (vs. usually absent, but when present, very diffuse); circumpeduncular scales 12 (vs. 10-11), and pectoral-fin rays i9-11 (vs. i8) .Cross section: compressed.
