Descrição breve
Morfologia | Morfometria
Espinhos dorsais (total): 0; Raios dorsais moles (total): 27-29; Espinhos anais 0; Raios anais moles: 12 - 13. Diagnosis: Distichodus kasaiensis is distinguished from D. affinis, D. altus, D. decemmaculatus, D. noboli, D. notospilus and D. teugelsi by the higher number of lateral line scales, 57-65 vs. 37-46; from D. antonii by the inferior mouth vs. terminal, the higher number of dorsal-fin rays, 27-29 vs. 21-25, and the lower number of dark vertical bars, 6-8 vs. 9-14; from D. fasciolatus by the higher number of dorsal-fin rays, 27-29 vs. 24-26, and the lower number of dark vertical bars, 6-8 vs. 13-20; from D. langi by the lower number of lateral line scales, 57-65 vs. 68-70, and the lower number of vertical bars, 6-8 vs. 13; from D. lusosso by the inferior mouth vs. terminal, and the short snout vs. elongated; from D. maculatus by the absence of dark blotches all over the body; and from D. sexfasciatus by the higher number of dorsal-fin rays, 27-29 vs. 24-25, the higher number of teeth in the outer row of the upper and lower jaw, 15-25 and 16-26 vs. 12-14 on both jaws, and the greenish body colouration vs. orange-reddish (Ref. 122092). It is distinguished from its most similar species D. atroventralis by having more dorsal-fin rays, 27-29 vs. 22-24, fewer teeth on the upper jaw, 15-25 vs. 18-36 (overlap due to positive allometry), and a longer dorsal-fin base, 24.9-33.7% of standard length vs. 20.1-28.8% (overlap due to positive allometry); and from D. ingae by having fewer lateral line scales, 57-65 vs. 69-73, more dorsal-fin rays, 27-29 vs. 26, and a smaller prepectoral distance, 21.4-30.0% of standard length vs. 29.1-30.2% (overlap due to negative allometry) (Ref. 122092).
