diagnosis
Diagnosis. Panaqolus albivermis can be diagnosed from all other Panaqolus except P. maccus by having head, body, and fins with widely separated small white to yellow spots, vermiculations, and / or thin oblique bands on a black base (vs. exclusively small white to yellow spots on a black base in P. albomaculatus, generally broad oblique bands of alternating light to dark brown in P. changae, P. gnomus, P. purusiensis, and a uniformly dark gray to black body color in P. d e n t e x, P. k o k o, and P. nocturnus); P. albivermis can be diagnosed from P. maccus by having a black base color (vs. brown), by having parallel dentary tooth rows (vs. acute intermandibular tooth row angle), and by having a larger known adult body size (95.8 mm SL vs. 84.8; Schaefer & Stewart, 1993).
etymology
Etymology. The specific epithet albivermis is a combination of the Latin albus, meaning white, and vermis, meaning worm, and is in reference to this species’ variable but distinctive white to yellow markings.
