Diagnostic Description
provided by EOL authors
Ctenotrypauchen chinensis is unique within the ‘Trypauchen’ group in having, in combination, a serrated frontal crest with united, but slightly emarginate pelvic fins.
Comprehensive Description
provided by EOL authors
Total dorsal-fin elements 53-57; dorsal fin with six flexible spines followed by 47-51 segmented and branched rays; dorsal-fin base long and broadly joined with caudal fin; total anal-fin elements 41-46, no spines, first element segmented and branched; anal-fin height approximately equal to second dorsal-fin height; anal-fin membrane broadly joined with caudal fin; pectoral-fin rays 14-17, pectoral fin short and falcate
Habitat
provided by EOL authors
The few specimens that are known were collected in the Indo-West Pacific at a depth of 50-70 m. Based on the few specimens that exist in collections, it appears that this taxon may be confined to deeper waters than most other members of this subfamily.
