Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Diagnosis: Differs from its congeners by presence in adults of small light spots on pelvic and anal fins, and lower lobe of caudal fin. It is similar to C. monoculus and C. pleiozona in possessing three dark vertical bars on the side, presence of a pronounced occipital bar in large specimens, absence of black or ocellated markings laterally on head, and presence of irregular dark blotches on anterior abdominal side. Differs from C. pleiozona by less scales in a lateral row (76-83 vs. 84-93 in pleiozona) and typical absence of bar 4 (ref. 57716).
