Comparative material

The new species is compared with Lentipes species having no enlarged lobes associated with the urogenital papillae in females or elongate finger like projections in males, having a urogenital papilla in both sexes that is not retractable into a sheath-like groove, and possessing 16-17 pectoral fin rays. These species are Lentipes concolor (Gill, 1860) , Lentipes watsoni Allen, 1997 and Lentipes mindanaoensis Chen, 2004 .
