Etymology: dabra: Named for David Winterbottom and Bradley Hubley, an arbitrary combination of letters, 'dabra'.
Eponymy: This is an arbitrary combination of letters combining the first few letters of the given names of Winterbottom’s son, David, and of Bradley Hubley who is entomology collection manger in the Department of Natural History at the Royal Ontario Museum. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 1.9 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 55341); 1.8 cm SL (female)
Dorsal spines (total): 6 - 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 7 - 10; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 7 - 9. Distinguished from its congeners in having a strong dark bar on the body, beginning just anterior to the origin of the first dorsal fin and passing ventrally just behind the base of the pectoral fin; about equal in width to the eye diameter. It has a dark anteroventrally-directed wedge-shaped bar from the eye to the jaws; a similar, but better developed postero-ventrally-directed bar from the eye to the vicinity of the vertical limb of the preopercle; a small dark blotch spot or bar on the anteroventral margin of the opercle. There is a black blotch at the middle length of the upper pectoral fin rays (Ref. 55341).
