🐟 Physical Description

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 28 - 33; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 21 - 24. Diagnosis: For distinguishing between specimens of Cyphomyrus discorhynchus and C. cubangoensis, the most useful anatomical characters are: longer dorsal fin length, longer anal fin length, higher nymber of dorsal fin rays and anal fins rays, and a higher caudal peduncle depth in relation to caudal peduncle length in C. discorhynchus than in C. cubangoensis . : fusiform / normal.
