🔬 Taxonomy
🐟 Physical Description
Dorsal soft rays (total): 6; Vertebrae: 25 - 27. Pseudolaguvia jiyaensis can be diagnosed from all congeners by having the thoracic adhesive apparatus almost reaching the pelvic-fin origin, and 25-27 vertebrae (vs. 28-34; except in P. tenebricosa and P. tuberculata). It further differs from P. nubila, P. inornata, P. muricata, P. ferula, P. flavida, P. viriosa, P. virgulata, P. lapillicola, and P. assula by having a shorter dorsal-fin spine (11.9-15.0% SL vs. 15.7-29.0) and in addition to P. assula and P. foveolata (but not P. nubila and P. lapillicola) by having a shorter pectoral-fin spine (16.6-19.8% SL vs. 20.2-35.7); and from P. muricata, P. virgulata, P. viriosa, P. austrina, and P. assula by having a shorter pectoral fin (22.6-26.0% SL vs. 26.4-38.1) .
