Short description
Κλείδες προσδιορισμού | Μορφολογία | Μορφομετρία
This species is distinguished by having the anterior disc margin distinctly undulating; pectoral-fin apices narrowly or abruptly rounded; preorbital length times orbital length 2.00-2.68; preorbital length times interorbital length 1.02-1.30; interorbital space times orbit length 1.20–-1.50; orbital length times spiracle length 2.00-2.53; with a median row of thorns originating from the posterior half of the disc; number of median thorns 26-30; interdorsal thorns 1 or 2; the dorsal disc surface and tail with finely textured denticles on adults confined to a narrow median band originating just posterior to mid-disc and extending along the tail; teeth arranged in quincunx; predorsal tail vertebrae 62; total predorsal vertebrae 93; pectoral-fin radial count 72. Colouration: uniformly colored on their dorsal and ventral surfaces, no blotches, spots, or other distinctive patterns which is consistent at all sizes from young to adult (Ref. 127873).
Oviparous (Ref. 50449). Eggs have horn-like projections on the shell (Ref. 205).

Oviparous, paired eggs are laid. Embryos feed solely on yolk (Ref. 50449). Eggs have horn-like projections on the shell (Ref. 205).
