description
Description. Morphometric data are given in Tables 1 and 2. Body slender, slightly compressed, body width approximately 1.5 in body depth in larger males. Longest body depth on a vertical through pelvic-fin base. Dorsal profile nearly straight to slightly concave on head, convex between nape and posterior end of dorsal-fin base, approximately straight on caudal peduncle; ventral profile between lower jaw and end of anal-fin base smoothly convex to approximately straight in male, convex in female, and approximately straight on caudal peduncle of both sexes. Tip of dorsal and anal fins pointed and long in male, rounded and short in female. Caudal fin rounded to subtruncate. Pectoral fin elliptical. Posterior margin of pectoral fin just posterior to a vertical through pelvic-fin base in male, and just anterior to that vertical in female. Tip of pelvic fin reaching base of genital bulb. Pelvic fins separated by a small interspace. Dorsal-fin origin in a vertical through genital bulb in male, and through anus in female. Anal-fin origin in a vertical through base of 2 nd or 3 rd dorsal-fin ray in male, and base of 4 lh or 5 th in female. Dorsal-fin rays 16 - 19; anal-fin rays 22 - 25; ca
