|---|---|---|
| A. López-Arbarello and A. M. Zavattieri 2008 | A species distinguished by the following combination of primitive and advanced characters: body depth is 2.5· in SL; ventrolateral process of the postparietal indenting in the dorsal border of the dermopterotic; anterior supraorbital does not extend beyond the anterior border of the parietal; preoperculum with high posterodorsal
process; infraorbital process of preoperculum long and sharp; anterior margin of anal fin opposite the posterior end of dorsal fin; dorsal fin with two basal fulcra and 12 rays; anal fin with one slender basal fulcrum; caudal fin with three dorsal and two ventral basal fulcra; six dorsal and four ventral precaudal scutes. | |
