Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Body flat and strongly compressed; eyes on left side of head; lateral line on the eyed side, with a pronounced arch over the pectoral fin but not extending under the lower eye; urinary papilla present on the eyed side; anterior profile of head markedly notched; eyed side light to dark brown, with small, diffuse, lighter blotches (Ref. 55763).
