Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 10 - 11; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 11; Espinas anales: 1; Radios blandos anales: 9; Vértebra: 26. This miniature species is distinguished by the following reductive character states: laterosensory canal system of head and body is reduced; scale rows in longitudinal series 20-23, oblique; with low number of caudal-fin rays (14 segmented, middle 10 branched, 4 procurrent); A I, 9; dorsal-fin elements total 20-21; upper lip darkly pigmented and presence of a black stripe on basal third to fourth of dorsal fin (Ref. 114925).
