Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
R. Brzobohaty and D. Nolf 1996Cette espèce possède des otolithes minces, ayant la por¬ tion postérieure arrondie et un rostre bien saillant. La plupart des spécimens ont un antirostre net, situé bien en arrière par rapport au rostre. La portion antérieure de l'area dorsale est peu étendue par rapport à la portion postérieure. La cauda est nettement plus large que l'os- tium, et est pourvue d'une assez forte crête colliculaire. Le bord ventral peut porter jusqu'à huit denticules, et ceux-ci font saillie sur tout l'étendue de ce bord. La dépression située juste au-dessus de la crista superior est toujours bien marquée, de même que leur sillon ventral.
