Dorsal fin rays 13-15; anal fin rays 14-16 (Ref. 79559). Longitudinal median lateral series of scales 24-27 and 3-4 on caudal fin base (Ref. 79559). Cephalic squamation pattern variable; cephalic neuromast series reduced, 'open type' anterior neuromast series; central series in two small shallow grooves, lined with low lobes or with two, or rarely three, single neuromasts; posterior cephalic neuromast series curved with shallow pits on each side or with a single, or up to four neuromasts; preopercular neuromast system with 10-14 neuromasts in open grooves, distal ridges slightly overlaps the bony opercle; one neuromast on each scale of median longitudinal series (Ref. 79559).Colouration: Colour in live male specimens: body and head scales light blue with pale red to pale orange margin, creating a reticulated pattern on the body and the head; outer rim of ventral body scales towards the belly yellow; snout reddish; throat orange to yellow; frontal and superior portion of head reddish; dorsal fin yellowish with red brown spots, getting smaller towards distal fin part; dorsal fin seamed with an iridescent light blue to white rim; anal fin yellowish with a pattern of narrow pale brown lines extending to fin rays, fin margin white to light blue; caudal fin pale red with a small black seam along its outer margin, larger on upper and lower angle, sharply delineated hyaline submarginal band; the pale red on the caudal fin extends partially into caudal peduncle; pelvic fins yellowish to hyaline with light blue margin; pectoral fins hyaline with a light blue margin; iris golden, with a black vertical bar through the centre of the eye (Ref. 79559). Live female colouration: body pale olive-brown; darker grey-brown dorsally; lighter brown to silver ventrally; unpaired and paired fins hyaline; iris golden, with a black vertical bar through the centre of the eye (Ref. 79559). Male colouration in alcohol: body scales light brown to whitish; scales on opercular and ventral area yellowish to light orange; almost all scales with distinct dark brown margin; dorsal fin light brown with a pattern of dark brown spots; anal fin light brown with a faint pattern, dark brown spots extending on fin rays; caudal fin brown with a fine dark brown to black seam along its outer margin, larger on upper and lower angle and a light brown submarginal band; pelvic fins light brown; pectoral fins light brown to whitish; iris bluish (Ref. 79559). Female colouration in alcohol: body scales brown; opercular and ventral area brown yellowish; unpaired and paired fins pale brown; iris bluish (Ref. 79559). Valdesalici, S. and H.
