🐟 Physical Description

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 24; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 31; Vertebrae: 43. Diagnosis: Cryptomyrus ogoouensis is readily differentiated from its sole congener, C. ona, by the following characteristics: the possession of an anal-fin origin located well in advance of the dorsal fin, first dorsal ray above anal-fin ray 7 vs. first dorsal ray above anal-fin ray 3; a narrow caudal peduncle, its depth 5.1% of standard length vs. 6.0-6.8%; and lobes of caudal fin nearly as long as caudal peduncle, vs. markedly shorter . : fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
