Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 8 - 9; Dorsal soft rays (total): 15 - 16; Anal soft rays: 15; Vertebrae: 30 - 31. This species can be distinguished from by the following characters: lateral profile of body with slight convex curve from posterior part of first dorsal fin base to moderately narrow caudal peduncle; with a narrow postorbital notch above and behind each eye, no furrow across nape at rear of interorbital space; rostral process with a broad angular notch having few if any tiny spine tips jutting anteriorly from smooth rostral edge, moderately large triangular spine at apical corner; pored lateral line scales 58-59; scales above lateral line 2 and below about 16 scales; D1 VIII-IX, with first spine slightly shorter than subequal second and third, subsequent spines progressively shorter, D2 15-16; A 15; pectoral fins reaching about fourth or fifth anal fin ray, the first free pectoral fin ray not quite reaching tip of interconnected portion of fin above, extending just to tip of pelvic fin, length of first free ray about equal to length of pectoral fin. Colouration: caudal fin white with broad, red sub distal band and reddish base; inner surface of the pectoral fin blackish with two transverse rows of large darkly ocellated milky blue spots, thin pink distal edge and broad yellow lower margin (Ref. 127939)
