Max length : 60.0 cm TL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 55); common length : 55.0 cm TL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 5450)
Espinas dorsales (total) : 10 - 11; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 13 - 14; Espinas anales: 3; Radios blandos anales: 9. Dorsal profile of head steeply sloped. Preorbital bone relatively broad, its width greater than eye diameter. Preopercular notch and knob poorly developed. Scale rows on back rising obliquely above lateral line. Color is red or reddish-orange, sometimes with an indistinct saddle-like black blotch on the caudal peduncle behind the dorsal fin.
