That picture is way too small. Can you try uploading a larger one? If that won't work, try using photobucket or something to upload the full size image to, and linking to it here.

Based upon the country of origin and the rows of spots along the lateral line, I am going to guess A. alacrina (aka sp. rotpunkt).

A. cf. alacrina (Rotpunkt). Until someone straightens out the confusion of the alacrina-group species/forms, it is best not to use the name 'A. alacrina' for this form. It shows some noticeable differences from the holotype - and the Cacquetá paratype forms - of A. alacrina.
