Dorsal

spines: 4-5;
Anal
soft rays: 43 - 49;
Vertebrae: 38. In addition to the autapomorphic presence of a bony ridge on the lateral face of the second branchiostegal ray, this species can be separated from G. alatus in having more lateral line-scales (68-75, versus 58-59), more scale rows between lateral line and anal-fin origin (13-16, versus 9-12) and more scale rows around caudal peduncle(21-23, versus 19). It differs from G. maracaiboensis by its shorter pelvic fin (11.4-13.9% SL, versus 13.6-15.8) and the larger interorbital space (16.6-22.1% SL, versus 21.8-24.5).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01202 (0.00470 - 0.03074), b=2.99 (2.77 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.9 ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
