Etymology: Nemipterus: Greek, nema, -atos = filament + Greek, pteron = wing, fin (Ref. 45335).
More on author: Ogilby.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologia
marino demersale; non migratori; distribuzione batimetrica 24 - 220 m (Ref. 9785). Tropical; 21°S - 35°S, 79°W - 73°W (Ref. 3810)

Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 22.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 128312); common length : 14.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 3810)
Spine dorsali (totale): 10; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 9; Spine anali 3; Raggi anali molli: 7. Suborbital spine absent. Preopercle with 3 transverse scale rows. Pectoral and pelvic fins not reaching to level of origin of anal fin. Upper lobe of caudal fin produced into a long trailing filament. First dorsal spine short. A line drawn upwards from posterior edge of the suborbital reaching the dorsal profile at or behind origin of dorsal fin. Axillary scale present. Color: upper part of body red, shading through rose-pink on the sides to pearly-white on the ventral surface. Can be distinguished from N. bathybius by having a more slender body, wider interorbital and shorter pectoral fins.
Inhabits sandy or muddy bottoms. Feeds on small crustaceans.
