Sciaenidae (Drums or croakers)
Etymology: medidentatus: Name 'medidentatus' from the Latin words 'medius' and 'dentatus', meaning 'middle' and 'toothed', in reference to the moderate-size teeth in the inner row of the lower jaw of the new species.
Eponymy: Rev Dr Christoph Samuel John (1747–1813) was a botanist and herpetologist and a medical missionary (1771–1813) at the Danish trading station of Tranquebar (now Tharangambadi), Tamil Nadu, not far from Madras (Chennai). [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Espinhos dorsais (total) : 9 - 10; Raios dorsais moles (total) : 25 - 30; Raios anais moles: 7. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: body oval shaped; enlarged teeth in the inner row of lower jaw moderate in size; slightly longer pre-anal length, 68.5-73.5% SL; moderately large eye, 21.8-30.1% HL; scales below lateral line, 11-13 (mode 12); and total number of outer gill rakers on first gill arch 5-8 (mode 7) + 10-15 (mode 13) = 17-24 (mode 21) (Ref. 138459).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: oval.
