The Smalleye Squaretail is recognised by its distinctive jaws, scalation and body form. |
|
Lacertid scalation and body forms are similar to those of the teiids, although lacertids are usually smaller. |
|
Differences in pigmentation and scalation were the bases for these opinions. |
|
Characteristics separating the various parrotfish genera are primarily based on structure of the teeth and patterns of scalation. |
|
The nape would then be referred to as scaled, and the extent of the scalation noted. |
