Dendrochirus barberi: general morphology We measured 12 postflexion and transforming larvae from 8.6–14.0 mm (Fig. 4a–e). Mean HL 32% SL; snout length typically 65–75% OD; mean BDc 34% SL; body depth at CP 51% BDc; CP about 15% deeper than long (Table 2). Rays of pectoral fin elongate, tips of longe...

Description
Summary:Dendrochirus barberi: general morphology We measured 12 postflexion and transforming larvae from 8.6–14.0 mm (Fig. 4a–e). Mean HL 32% SL; snout length typically 65–75% OD; mean BDc 34% SL; body depth at CP 51% BDc; CP about 15% deeper than long (Table 2). Rays of pectoral fin elongate, tips of longest extend to or slightly beyond last pterygiophore of dorsal-fin base in smallest larva; mean depth of pectoral-fin base 49% BDc (Table 2). All larvae with pronounced “hump” in dorsal profile of snout due to elevated rostral cartilage; terminal margin of maxilla extends to about mid-orbit. PPO spines about evenly spaced along shelf margin, upper 3–4 subequal, lowermost shortest (Fig. 4a). Smallest larva with oblong loop in fore- and mid-gut; hindgut slender, terminates beyond mid-body; gut with rugose folds in early transformers (~9.0 mm). Gas bladder unpigmented, obscured by abdominal musculature in transformers. Seven BR. Pigmentation Head and visceral mass unpigmented or nearly so, body sparsely pigmented until ... : Published as part of Ditty, James G., Malca, Estrella & Vásquez-Yeomans, Lourdes, 2024, The lionfishes: Comparative development of Pterois volitans, Dendrochirus barberi, and D. hemprichi (Scorpaeniformes: Scorpaenidae: Pteroinae) and discrimination of their early life stages from non-pteroine scorpaenid genera in the Western North Atlantic, pp. 1-41 in Zootaxa 5446 (1) on pages 12-16, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5446.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/11084543 ...
