Remarks

Otoliths of “ L.” sulcatus have much in common with those of latilines, but the sulcus is not as deeply incised as that of their Recent relatives, and the excisura is much less incised. The configuration of the sulcus appears to be the most consistent and can be readily recognized. The dorsal rim of the otoliths shows much intra-specific variability.
