A species of Nothobranchius of relatively large size (Ref. 83514). Snout rounded, mouth subterminal, directed upward; dorsal profile slightly concave on head, concave from nape to end of dorsal fin; caudal peduncle profile straight at upper and lower sides (Ref. 83514). Supra-orbital squamation variable, but G-type in most specimens; anterior part of supra-orbital squamation partly covered with epidermal tissue (Ref. 83514). Central supra-orbital neuromast system in two distinct, shallow grooves, both lined with three shallow lobes on both sides; posterior cephalic neuromast system in two curved pits (Ref. 83514). |
