Descrição breve
Chaves de identificação | Morfologia | Morfometria
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 13 - 14; Raios dorsais moles (total) : 12 - 13; Espinhos anais: 3; Raios anais moles: 8 - 9; Vértebras: 27 - 28. It is distinguished from all congeners by a unique pigmentation pattern and coloration comprising an expansive, generally vertically oriented, black band or blotched region of black pigment below the lateral midline and just anterior to the origin of the anal fin, and by an overall dark grayish-green body coloration (Ref. 57663).
