Descripción breve
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 8; Radios blandos anales: 8; Vértebra: 17. This species is distinguished by the following characters: D 8; A 8; pectoral-fin rays 15; vertebrae 8 + 9 =17; dorsal-fin origin opposite to anal-fin origin. Colouration: dorsal half of body light brown with concentrated dark pigments just behind eye, and longitudinal, irregular, pale golden stripe running above the mid-body from area just behind eye to dorsal edge of caudal peduncle; with 5 saddle-like diffuse black blotches along dark yellowish dorsal edge of body between nape and dorsal-fin origin; ventral half of the posterior part of body pinkish with tiny subcutaneous black spots; head and ventral half of body to anal-fin origin white with silver reflection; gill opening edged with pink; faint light yellowish line on snout from just behind upper lip to eye; lips is pinkish; iris golden; all fins are pale grey but mid-base of caudal fin with few black dots (Ref. 123151).
