Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total) : 13; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 10 - 12; Espinas anales: 3; Radios blandos anales: 7 - 8. This species is distinguished by having no spots on the median fins and generally, its shorter dorsal spines (Ref. 74961).
