Figure 38a–b View Fig

Material 1 specimen late Zanclean , upper Cayo Agua FM , Atlantic Panama, PPP 1188 ( NMB P15793 View Materials ) .

Discussion Te single fossil specimen perfectly matches the available extant specimen although the latter is slightly eroded ( Fig. 38a View Fig ), but is slightly larger. Characteristic features are the rounded orthogonal preventral and postventral angles, the rounded middorsal angle, the otolith proportion (OL:OH = 1.0 in the extant specimen vs 1.03 in the fossil) and the small, oval sulcus which is only slightly inclined (7°).
