Short description
Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total): 1 - 2; Radios blandos dorsales (total): 6-7; Espinas anales 0; Radios blandos anales: 7 - 10; Vértebra: 34 - 39. Diagnosis: This species is distinguished from most of the other species by its more slender form, with standard length larger than 8 times body depth, by the short humeral process, less than 20% of the lateral head length and by the possession of only two or three barbs on the pectoral-fin spines (Ref. 86935). It is distinguished from Zaireichthys mandevillei by the large eye, more than one sixth of the head length, vs. 12 times in head length (Ref. 86935). A dwarf species with an edentate palate (Ref. 57128).

50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Nivel trófico (Ref.
