Short description
Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale): 2; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 7; Spine anali 1-3; Raggi anali molli: 8 - 9; Vertebre: 34 - 36. This species has well-developed serrations on the anterior margin of the dorsal spine and a distinctive pigmentation pattern: a variable pattern and number of light, cream colored spots distributed over a largely uniform dark brown upper body and over a more lightly pigmented ventral surface, and a narrow, depigmented, curved band along the entireanterior margin of the caudal fin (Ref. 78430).
