Morfología | Morfometría
Radios blandos dorsales (total): 5; Radios blandos anales: 4. Distinguishing characteristics of metamorphosed female: length of illicium 32% SL; left primary branch of distal escal appendage with a pair of side branches emerging about 8% SL from base; length of right distal escal appendage 23% SL, left distal escal appendage 32% SL; club shaped side branches, length 3-4% SL; primary branches of distal escal appendage covered with small dermal spinules except for distal tips (Ref. 86949).
Minimum depth from Ref. 58018.
