Etymology: radiatus: Name from Latin, 'radiatus' meaning radial, referring to the dark stripes radiating along the rays on the pectoral fin inner surface of this species and thus distinguishing it from its closely related congener M. pictus.

Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 10 - 11; Dorsal soft rays (total): 11 - 13; Anal spines: 2 - 3; Anal soft rays: 8 - 11; Vertebrae: 26. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: D X-XI,11-13 (modally XI,12), total rays 22-23 (23), first dorsal-fin spine is much shorter than the second dorsal-fin spine, their bases close together; A II-III,8-11 (II,10), total rays 11-13 (12); lateral-line tubes 16-19 (17); width between the interorbital ridges 1.4-3.7% (mean 2.9%) of SL; pelvic-fin base length 12.2-16.6% (14.4%) of SL. Colouration: body brownish dorsally, reddish ventrally, and with oblique alternating dark and light stripes; pectoral fin inner surface is largely yellow, with narrow dark stripes along the rays and small dark spots, blotches or broken stripes on membranes between rays (Ref. 128010).
