Dendrochirus hemprichi ...

Dendrochirus hemprichi: general morphology We examined images of two transforming larvae of D. hemprichi, one from Baldwin (2013: 540, fig. 40E) labeled D. brachypterus, and an 11.0 mm larva from the Red Sea (Fig. 5a–b). These larvae were not available for examination and measurement; therefore, the...

Description
Summary:Dendrochirus hemprichi: general morphology We examined images of two transforming larvae of D. hemprichi, one from Baldwin (2013: 540, fig. 40E) labeled D. brachypterus, and an 11.0 mm larva from the Red Sea (Fig. 5a–b). These larvae were not available for examination and measurement; therefore, the following description of general morphology applies to the 21.0 mm juvenile only (Fig. 5c). Head length 38% SL; OD about 1.5 times wider than snout. PPO-1 length 25% OD (Table 2), and two times longer than PPO-2 through -5. Upper jaw terminates slightly beyond mid-orbit; maxilla swollen near its posterior margin. Preanal length 67% SL; BDc 43% SL; CP depth 36% BDc; CP length 75% of its depth; maximum width of pectoral-fin base 39% BDc (Table 2). Seven BR. Pigmentation Transformers with pair of narrow stripes across dorsal surface of head: anterior stripe between posterior margin of orbits, posterior stripe between bases of parietal spines; a partial third stripe between lower margin of orbits. Lateral surface of ... : 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 16-19, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5446.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/11084543 ...
