Chaves de identificação | Morfologia | Morfometria
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 3; Raios dorsais moles (total) : 12 - 2; Raios anais moles: 7. This species of the Chaunax fimbriatus group is distinguished by the following: slender cirri arising within interorbital, space and on lower part of the maxilla and supraocular membranes; spinules on dorsal surface relatively strong and stout, interspaces being shorter than their lengths; lateral-line neuromasts series: upper preopercular series 2-3, pectoral series 11-13, and body series, including those on caudal fin 32-35; gill rakers of second gill-arch 8-9; P 13–14 (mainly 14); ilicium short and stout. Colouration: when fresh, irregular green reticulate pattern on dorsal surface, with patches of small, bright white spots on interorbital space, head and origin of dorsal fin; mouth cavity pale and gill chamber blackish; esca yellowish green (Ref. 127469).
