Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
K. A. González-Rodríguez et al. 2013“Monocentrid-like” teleost with gentle, slightly rounded profile. Large, round orbit present. Infraorbital 2 the largest infraorbital, partially occupying the position of infraorbital 2 and 3 in other teleosts. Dorsalmost infraorbital 4/5 somewhat rectangular ventrally and expanded postero-dorsally. Pre-opercular and infraorbital canals meeting on infraorbital 4/5. Large, narrow opercle ending in a smooth tip ventrally, and producing a markedly oblique suture with a subopercle. Narrow subopercle contained about 8 times in opercle depth. Long and expanded interopercle, even longer than ventral arm of pre-opercle and reaching cleithrum posteriorly.
