C). Between the anterior edges of the eyes and the medial point of the upper lip a distinct, broadly V-shaped pattern consisting of small dark brown melanocytes is visible. The lateral tips of the lips show tiny golden irdiophores. The lips are light beige. The submarginal papillation of the oral disc is dark brown. The sclera of the eye is black with a light green line postero-dorsal to the pupil. The iris is dark golden yellow to orange sprinkled with black dots, comparable to the iris colouration in adults. The pupil is homogenously black and rounded. The spiraculum is translucent and unpigmented.

) is 78% of the interorbital distance (IOD). The oval nares open laterally. The rims of the nares are slightly raised from the body wall and exhibit a short middorsal projection. The spiracle is sinistral and extends to a short siphon with a free round spiracular orifice. The opening of the spiracle is situated at 47–61% of the head trunk length and below the horizontal mid trunk line. The spiracular siphon is directed postero-dorsally at an angle of 45 relative to the horizontal line of the body (

A). The dorsal fin inserts a short distance behind the trunktail junction. The ventral fin is connected to the trunk. The anal siphon opens medially. The dorsal edge of the fin is straight and the muscular tail makes up 71–85% of body depth. The width of the base of the tail is 58–63% of the maximal trunk width.

E). In preserved specimens, the width of the oral disc is 75–78% of the maximal width of the trunk. Marginal papillae are absent and the edges of the lips are smooth. The upper and lower lips bear numerous low, rounded or slightly elongated submarginal papillae. The lower lip is deeper than the upper lip and bears about four irregular rows of submarginal papillae formed by irregularly positioned tubercles. The first row is situated directly centripedal to the margin of the oral disc. A few finger-like papillae are present on both sides of the mouth-orifice. The submarginal papillae on the upper lip are smaller than those on the lower lip, and round. Submarginal papillae are pigmented brown contrast starkly with the light background colour of the lips, particularly in larger specimens (
