description
Description. Morphometric data summarized in Table 1. Maximum body size moderate to small compared to congeners (maximum observed size 57.7 mm SL). Dorsal, left lateral and ventral views of body in Fig. 1. Head and body depressed, lateral profile ascending from tip of snout to dorsal-fin origin, with bony skull ornamentations in between. Posterodorsal profile of body straight and descending from dorsal-fin origin to near base of caudal fin, becoming slightly convex anterior to caudal-fin base. Ventral body profile convex from mouth to insertion of pelvic fin; concave from this point to anal-fin origin, straight and ascending from anal-fin origin to base of caudal fin, slightly concave at caudal-fin base. Caudal peduncle slender, somewhat rounded in cross section, but flattened dorsally and ventrally, shallowest at midpoint between end of anal fin and caudal-fin origin. Skull ornamentation weakly developed. Eye small and positioned dorsolaterally. Skin covering eye dense and pale. Anterior nostril located terminally at tip of snout, associated with fleshy tube projecting beyond upper lip. Posterior nostril without flap, opening anteromedially near eye.
