Description
Summary:Dendrochirus “bellus ” and D. zebra General morphology and pigmentation patterns for transforming D. “ bellus ” and D. zebra similar to that described for D. barberi and D. hemprichi. Per Kojima (2014), 9.5 mm D. “ bellus ” with large eyes, maximum body depth 38% SL; HL 36% SL. Hindgut long, relatively slender. PPO spines relatively short; pterotic and posttemporal ridges elevated posteriorly. Parietal spines anterior to nuchals, subequal in length, relatively short. Supraocular cirrus pigmented; nasal cirrus unpigmented. Dorsal and anal spines slender; first eight dorsal spines of similar length. Pectoral fins fan-shaped, rays elongate (Fig. 6a). Three stripes across dorsal surface of head: anteriorly between orbital margins, midway between pterotic ridges, and posteriorly near base of parietal spines. Snout with narrow swath from lower nares downward onto upper lip, and from anteroventral margin of orbit across IO1. Pigment near anterior margin and on posterolateral surface of lower lip; diffuse blotch ... : 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 19-21, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5446.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/11084543 ...
