Short description
Morfologia | Morfometria
Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 5-6; Raggi anali molli: 5. Diagnosis: Metamorphosed females of this species have short illicium (11.5-12.6%SL); have two anterior escal appendage; and considerably shorter, stouter, distal escal appendage (6.4-15.8%SL) (Ref. 53300). Further characterized by presence of vomerine teeth; strongly convex dorsal margin of frontal bones; well developed sphenotic spines; skin is smooth and naked, without dermal spinules; darkly pigmented skin of caudal peduncle extends well past base of caudal fin (Ref. 86949).
Known from nine (9) known specimens (Ref. 10523, 53300). A 9.6-cm specimen appears to be a sexually mature, where the right ovary, about 26 mm long (27.1%SL), contains approximately 130,000 eggs (count based on extrapolation from wet weight) each about 0.3 mm in diameter (Ref. 53300).
