Comments: Three specimens were collected by the late R. Lubbock from Cebu Strait (BMNH 1983.3.25.186-188) and these specimens appear to be more similar to P. stellatus than P. litus, and are most likely the juveniles of a species that has been photographed by Japanese divers in Cebu. Material is needed to determine whether the Cebu fish are conspecific with P. stellatus (Ref. 118104).

Spine dorsali (totale) : 3; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 24 - 26; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 15; Vertebre: 26. his species is distinguished from by the following set of characters: D III,24-26 (usually III,26); A III,15; pectoral-fin rays 18-19 (usually 18); scales in lateral series 36-38; circumpeduncular scales 16; caudal fin pointed (rounded with middle rays extended to form slight to obvious point); dorsal-fin origin to pelvic-fin origin 31.8-33.5 % SL (Ref. 118104).

Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

This species was ollected in 55-62 m and observed to at least 70 m depth. It is found on deep reef slopes with gentle incline but exposed to strong currents and generally found in association with small gorgonian sea fans or low-growing barrel sponges (Ref. 118104).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = No PD50 data   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01148 (0.00439 - 0.03002), b=3.01 (2.78 - 3.24), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
