Short description
पहचान कुंजी | आकृति विज्ञान | मौरफोमैटरिक्स
पृष्ठीय रीढ़ (सम्पूर्ण) : 7; पृष्ठीय सौफट रेज़ (सम्पूर्ण) : 11; गुदा कांटा: 1; ऐनल सौफट रेज़: 11. This species differs from other congeners in having the following characters: 11 segmented rays on second dorsal fin; 33-35 longitudinal scale count; no predorsal scales; 11-12 transverse scale count from origin of second dorsal fin backward and downward to anal-fin base; naked pectoral-fin base; third spine of first dorsal fin longest, slightly elongate and filamentous; sensory-papillae row comprising four sensory papillae; a deep trough along posterior margin of eyes (Fig. 5B); first dorsal fin with numerous minute scattered yellow spots and no yellow submarginal lines; four faint brownish (tinged with yellow) mid-lateral blotches (rather than saddle-like bars) on body (Ref. 75057).
Occurs in coarse sandy bottom around rubble area, and found to be symbiotically associated with the alpheid shrimps (Ref. 75057).
