Etymology: Priolepis: Greek, prio = to saw + Greek,lepis = scale (Ref. 45335);  cincta: Name from Latin cinctum, a girdle or belt, presumably referring to the banded color pattern; treated as a noun in apposition by Winterbotton & Burridge, 1993:2063 (Ref. 10753).
  More on author: Regan.

Issue
Specific name to be examined, treated as a noun in apposition in Ref. 10753, but CofF treat the name as an adjective.

Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 7 - 8; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 11; Spine anali: 1; Raggi anali molli: 9. Characterized by having alternating dark-edged brown and narrower white bars on head and body; dorsal and caudal fins with brown spotting; basal part of dorsal fins with dark spots/bands; longitudinal scale series 27-31; ctenoid scales on body except cycloid on abdomen, prepectoral and prepelvic areas; upper opercle with a patch of cycloid scales; cheek without scales; depth of body 3.8-4.6 in SL (Ref. 90102).

Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Hides in caves and crevices (Ref. 9710), also among corals or rock (Ref. 37816). Monogamous (Ref. 52884).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturities | Riproduzione | Spawnings | Egg(s) | Fecundities | Larve

Benthic spawner (Ref. 31409). Bi-directional sex change was proposed for this species (Ref. 103751). Monogamous mating is observed as both obligate and social (Ref. 52884).
