Etymology: rumsfeldi: Named for Donald Rumsfeld.
Eponymy: Donald Henry Rumsfeld (1932-2021) was an American politician who immortalized the quote (2002): “…there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / distribuzione batimetrica / distribution range
Ecologia
marino associati a barriera corallina; distribuzione batimetrica 100 - 130 m (Ref. 116443). Tropical
Western Pacific: Philippines.
Size / Peso / Age
Maturità: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 7.8 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 116443)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 11; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 20; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 17. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following characters: less number of pored scales in the lateral line (27 vs. 37-46); longer snout (35.9% in HL vs. 28.2-35.5%); shorter first dorsal ray (12% in SL vs. 16.6-26.6%); longer caudal peduncle (8.5% in SL vs. 4.2-8.2%); shorter caudal fin (15.9% in SL vs. 19.8-25.9%); with a dark brown pelvic-fin spine (vs. white) (Ref. 116443).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep; Cross section: compressed.
Areas of collection vary from sheltered rocky outcroppings which are heavily covered by fine sediment to areas exposed to strong currents. Ambient seawater temperature varied between 19 and 21°C during dives conducted in April-May over several years. Azooxanthellate gorgonians, black corals, and solitary stony corals were the most abundant benthic invertebrates in this area (Ref. 116443).
