Figure 30. Anchoa cayorum, 85 mm TL, 68 mm SL, from Cabanas Bay, Cuba, USNM 82341, with pectoral 

 fin enlarged. Drawn by Louella E. Cable. 



Distinctive Characters. Museum specimens generally have been identified with 

 A. mitchilli, presumably because of the long anal fin, but cayorum differs in the larger 

 size it attains (largest seen 85 mm), in the notably fewer gill rakers, and in the much 

 broader and more prominent silvery lateral band.
