描述

provided by The Fish Database of Taiwan
體延長而呈圓柱狀,尾部延長側扁;頭和軀幹長於尾部長。上、下頜頜齒及鋤骨齒單列;頜間大尖牙2-4顆。體表為單純的褐色、淡褐色或朱褐色;眼虹彩黃色;前鼻管的尖端黑色;口內皮膚橘黃色;鰭緣略具白色邊緣。過去部份分類文獻曾將白邊裸胸鯙、裂吻勾吻鯙等誤鑑為肝色裸胸鯙。白邊裸胸鯙的上、下頜孔具有白斑,尾長明顯小於頭長加軀幹長;裂吻勾吻鯙的上、下頜比較尖長且強烈呈彎勾狀,這些不同的特徵都可與肝色裸胸鯙作區分。〔登錄標本〕ASIZP 058150, 2 specimen, 75.1-77.9 cm TL, Jan. 23, 1997, Chengkung; TFRI-TT 689, 1 specimen, 68.7 cm TL, Jan 16, 1997, Chengkung.
