描述

provided by The Fish Database of Taiwan
全長為頭長的10.1-11.6倍;全長為鰓孔位體高的34.0-38.7倍;全長為軀幹長的2.5-2.6倍。從眼後方項部起到尾部,沿著體背側,披覆著寬窄不等下垂的鞍狀斑塊;頭部感覺孔明顯;前鼻孔為管狀,後有一肉質突起;背鰭起點約於胸鰭中端,背、臀鰭於近尾端處略高揚;平均脊椎骨組成:11-67-150,總脊椎骨數為149-150。本種係由 Jordan and Rechardson 兩位學者於1909年,在打狗港(今高雄港)附近的市集購得兩尾標本而命名之,亦是首次以台灣為模式地發表的新種蛇鰻。另外,本種體背側所覆的斑紋,與另外一種鬚唇短體蛇鰻 (/Brachysomophis cirrocheilos/) 極為相似,而經常被誤鑑;這兩種一般可藉由唇部是否有鬚以及頭部側面觀的外形,來加以區別之。
