Description

Dorsal soft rays (total): 11. Can be diagnosed from all its known congeners, except Oligosarcus jenynsii, Oligosarcus perdido, Oligosarcus acutirostris, Oligosarcus solitarius and Oligosarcus hepsetus, by the number of perforated lateral line scales (55-65). Shares with the first two species the absence of a premaxillary foramen, present in the last three species and differs from Oligosarcus jenynsii by having a smaller orbital diameter and the tip of the pectoral fin failing to reach the pelvic-fin origin, and from Oligosarcus perdido by the presence of more horizontal scale rows around the caudal peduncle.
