Espinas dorsales (total): 6; Radios blandos dorsales (total): 9; Espinas anales 3; Radios blandos anales: 20 - 23. This species is distinguished by having a midventral, black, pin-like mark, about half length of pelvic fins, within a white band that encircles head of pin just anterior to anus (not present in juveniles); pectoral-fin length 3.3-3.45 in SL; preanal length 1.45-1.55 in SL; dorsal profiles of head and nape are nearly straight; iris in alcohol silvery white; differs from P. guentheri in having smaller eye size (40-50 mm in SL vs. 7.6-7.7 mm in SL in P. guentheri (Ref. 107896).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5005   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01122 (0.00514 - 0.02450), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm Total Length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliencia (Ref. 120179):  Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
