Short Description
A relatively large species with the following set of characters: moderately tall dorsal fins, posterior margin mostly upright distally, the first dorsal-fin base length is 1.6-2.1 times anal-caudal space; buccopharyngeal denticles cover the entire palate and floor of mouth; long claspers of adult males are slender, strongly depressed, inner length about 8-11% TL, reaching to level of second dorsal-fin origin; the lower edge of spiracle usually at level with lower edge of eye; anal-fin insertion is slightly anterior to its apex; 76-80 precaudal vertebral centra; 33-35 monospondylous centra; dorsal color light yellowish grey with numerous small, diffuse-edged white spots in staggered, irregular rows on postspiracular head and body; the light and dark tonal coloration are not well demarcated; bases and inner lobe of dorsal fins of juveniles (<400 mm TL) with bases and inner lobe whitish and strongly contrasted to distal part of fin; caudal fin of juveniles not distinctly white-edged.
