Anterior nostril pierced on front side of a flap; processus dentiformis present; lower lip interrupted medially, no median notch in upper lip; no median notch in lower jaw; body depth 14.3-15.8 %SL; caudal peduncle length 14.5-15.8 %SL, depth 10.5-11.8 %SL, 1.26-1.44 times in length; lateral line complete; anus about 1-2 eye diameters in front of anal-fin origin; 8.5 branched dorsal-fin rays; 5.5 branched anal-fin rays; caudal fin emarginate, with 9+8 branched rays; axillary pelvic lobe present; top of head spotted; body with 8-10 bars, as wide as or narrower than interspaces, not very regularly shaped and set, often dissociated into a blotch along side and a blotch along dorsal midline; a faint grey midlateral stripe or rows of longitudinally elongate blotches superimposed to the bar pattern; black bar at caudal-fin base more or less complete, often not reaching ventral midline, bent forward along dorsal midline; dorsal-fin base with a black spot at anterior extremity, followed by an orange dot and a grey elongate blotch (Ref. 36949). Mid-dorsal blotches may also be fused into a mid-dorsal stripe (Ref. 43281).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00692 (0.00310 - 0.01545), b=3.02 (2.85 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Niveau trophique (Ref.
69278): 3.0 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Résilience (Ref.
120179): Haut, temps minimum de doublement de population inférieur à 15 mois (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
