Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 4; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9 - 10; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 6 - 7. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following characters: a wider snout (11.7-13.1% of SL; 29.2-34.6% of HL); dorsal spines 4, the 1st and 2nd close to the tip of snout, 3rd and 4th completely contained within loose fold of skin which connects these 2 spines to the soft dorsal fin; with blunt, sturdy cranial spines; uniform brown coloration, lacking vermiculations or contrasting pigment (Ref. 89623).
