Description
Fig. 4. Spintherobolus broccae, USNM 287324, adult male, 17.9 mm SL. Head and anterior body region, right side. Two pseudotympanums, black areas are located posterior to the dorsal portion of the opercular opening. The posterior pseudotympanum is homologous with the single pseudotympanum of other Cheirodontines while the anterior pseudotympanum is found only in Spintherobolus. The small dark dots arranged in rows arer the neuromast pattern over the face and opercular region. In the region ventral to the pectoral fin a few neuromasts can be seen partly bordering the scales. Such neuromasts are also present in the dorsal or back region. However, these are sometimes hard to distinguish from the somewhat larger dark chromatophores that often have somewhat indistinct borders. The rows of neuromasts are especially clear in the infraorbital region and on the dentary.
