    Description
    Probably the largest, longest-snouted lethrinid. Crimson cast on face and fins may develop in large courting males . Body color is gray, becoming lighter ventrally, often with scattered irregular dark blotches. The snout has wavy dark streaks. The upper jaw, especially near the corner of the mouth, is sometimes edged with red. Very similar to L. microdon, but more scales above lateral line and caudal fin more forked when young .
