Size. Largest female specimen examined 208 mm SL (ICN-MHN 14829, paratype), largest male 177 mm SL (INVEMAR-PEC 6678, paratype). Female ariids have a greater development of pelvic fins than have males, and this dimorphism exhibits a positive allometry becoming more evident in mature specimens (Acero P. et al., 2005). Given that there is a clear difference in the size of pelvics between female (17.5-18.5% SL) and male (14.1% SL) specimens, it seems likely that
