Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Lepidomeda albivallis is distinguished from similar species L. mollispinis by having the following characters: scales on lateral line 79-92; entire opercle with dark specks; larger pharyngeal arch; red-orange bases on olive to pink-brown dorsal and caudal fins, red-orange anal and pelvic fins (colors brightest in large males) (Ref. 86798).
