Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 3; Dorsal soft rays (total): 24; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 14. This species differs from other pseudochromids in having the following set of characters: D III,24; A III,14; pelvic-fin rays I,5; anterior tip of palatine tooth patch directed medially behind posterolateral arm of vomerine tooth patch; upper part of body with dark (dark grey to black in life) longitudinal stripe, extending horizontally to or towards caudal-fin base; scales in lateral series 41-45; circumpeduncular scales 22-23 (Ref. 89094).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Occurs in rubble habitats in low rocky outcrops or with low coral heads. Also photographed at 5 m depth in an open area with sand and some isolated corals and rocks (Ref. 89094). Solitary (Ref 90102).
