Breve descrizione
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Shovel-shaped disc with a long tail (much longer than disc length); a longer-than-wide nasal curtain; slender tooth bands that are subtriangular in shape (Ref. 49866). Uniform light brown or golden-brown dorsally (Ref. 49866).
Body shape (shape guide): other.
Known based on 11 specimens. Males mature at 26 cm TL; born at ca. 9 cm TL. Low fecundity based on two mid-term embryos (each just over 7 cm) found in right uterus of large female (Ref. 114953).
