Épines dorsales (Total) : 11; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 11; Épines anales: 2; Rayons mous anaux: 10; Vertèbres: 26. This species is distinguished by the following characters: with a rigid upper jaw lacking flexible lamina posteriorly, extending about 0.6 eye diameters behind posterior margin of orbit; infraorbitals are relatively slender and tubular, third infraorbital with short posterolateral projecting arm ending with large sensory canal opening, no suborbital shelf; D XI,11; A II,10; vertebrae 10+16. Colouration: tips of dorsal-fin spines with conspicuous pale tabs; dorsum with a row of 5 dark blotches extending distinctly onto the dorsal fin; nape with a dark blotch slightly in front of dorsal-fin origin; last blotch on dorsal fin is distinctly narrower than anterior blotches; head with small dusky spots or blotches (Ref. 128653).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
