Chaca
bankenensis seems to be a little bit darker in colouration than
Chaca chaca and has one less pectoral ray,
1/4 to 1/5 of C. chaca. You can differentiate the difference
between Chaca burmensis and Chaca chaca by
the number and the size of the cirri along the inner edge
of the lower lip, C. chaca has 14+ and tend to be relatively
longer and/or thicker. Chaca burmensis usually numbers
around 10 or 11 small cirri, and they don’t tend to
have them near the corners of the mouth. There seems to be two forms
of this species, Archipelagic and peninsular. |
