Description:
This species can be identified by several key characteristics. Firstly, it features a truncated caudal extremity, giving it a unique appearance. Secondly, its pectoral margin is nearly straight, which is distinct from the curved margins of other species. Additionally, it has a stand-up collared or V-shaped occipital margin, setting it apart from its counterparts. Notably, there are a pair of knoblike projections at the antero-lateral corner of its body, providing a distinctive feature for identification. Furthermore, this species exhibits a central position of the widest and highest parts of its body, differentiating it from species with variations in body shape. Its occipital margin is also depressed and oblique, a characteristic not commonly found in related species. Moreover, the upward posterior portion of this species resembles that of the Pompholyx, further aiding in its recognition. Finally, it possesses a stocky body shape, which is a unique feature compared to other species in the same group.
