Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 1; Dorsal soft rays (total): 14 - 15; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 15; Vertebrae: 39. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: D2 I,15, A I,15, pectoral fin rays modally 14 with 4 upper, free soft rays and 1 lower free ray; vertebrae 17 + 22 = 39. Colouration: body brown with minute creamy yellow round spots; head and body has small brown spots; belly is creamy yellow with fewer brown spots; second dorsal fin with tiny white marks; pectoral fin has several round melanophores, most membrane with brown marks (Ref. 133051).
Cross section: oval.
