This is an internal feature of the spine. Other traits, such as an upper mouth, the posterior portion of the head with unpigmented collar, the region anterior to dorsal fin with unpigmented mark, and a dorsal lobe of caudal fin slightly longer than ventral lobe, are present but are shared in various other Heptapaterini. |
