This species is distinguished by the following characters: the serrae angle of preopercle abruptly and remarkably enlarged from dorsal to ventral direction; D 13-14; scales on lateral body cycloid, ctenoid at pectoral region. Colouration: back and side with six oblique transversal bars, the second bar steeply oblique not becoming nearly horizontal ventral to lateral line, reaching opercular margin dorsal to and ventral to its posterior tip; the third bar on body without an anterior branch; the fourth band on head very narrow, much narrower than diameter of pupil (Ref. 132424). |
