interopercular knob inconspicuous; belly with white with yellow spot on each scale forming narrow, longitudinal, yellow lines; dark-edged blue stripes 4, the first blue stripe almost running from above posterior nostril to the tenth dorsal fin spine base; third stripe just from upper rear edge of eye, through upper part of opercle, tapering posteriorly and extending to upper part of caudal peduncle below last soft dorsal-ray base; fourth blue stripe from just above midpoint of lower jaw, below eye and continuing through opercle, above upper pectoral-fin base to
