Indo-West Pacific: Phuket Island, Andaman Sea, the Philippines, Indonesia, and New Caledonia. This species has been referred to as Nemipterus balinensis by authors.
Tamaño / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 14.0 cm SL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 48635); common length : 9.0 cm SL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 3810)
Espinas dorsales (total) : 10; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 9; Espinas anales: 3; Radios blandos anales: 7. Suborbital spine absent. Preopercle with 3 transverse scale rows. Pectoral fins short, not reaching to anus. Pelvic fins moderately long, reaching to or just beyond anus. Upper lobe of caudal fin slightly longer than lower lobe. A line drawn up from the posterior edge of suborbital reaching the dorsal profile behind origin of dorsal fin. Axillary scale present. Color: Upper part of body pale silvery-rose, silvery below. Can be distinguished from N. balinensis by its shallower suborbital depth (4.1 to 6.7 in eye) and shorter pectoral fin.
Occurs on sand or mud bottoms (Ref. 3810) of the continental shelf (Ref. 75154). Rarely seen in markets (Ref. 3810).
