Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Diagnosis: Disc diamond-shaped (rhomboid). Snout elongated, preorbital distance 35.7-37.7% in DW. Lower lip outline with a dark, well-defined band. Shoulder region to base of tail with a row of small tubercles along the midline of disc, tubercles somewhat randomly distributed. Posterior margin of the pectoral fins uniformly rounded; of the triangular-shaped pelvic fins, almost straight or slightly sinuous, with its tips exceeding posterior margin of disc. Dorsal caudal keel absent in the holotype, vestigial in the 2 paratypes (Ref. 56441).

Minimum depth from Ref. 58018.

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5156 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00486 - 0.02155), b=3.06 (2.87 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.7 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Very high vulnerability (90 of 100).
