Etymology: Scorpaenopsis: Latin, scorpaena = a kind of fish, 1706 + Greek, opsis = appearance (Ref. 45335); vittapinna: From the Latin vitta for band and pinna for fin, in reference to the dark transverse band on the anal and pelvic fins. Not in Ref. 40966..

Size / Gewicht / Alter
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 8.5 cm TL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 90102)
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 12; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 9; Afterflossenstacheln: 3; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 5; Wirbelzahl: 24. A broad dark band across soft portion of anal and pelvic fins. Maxilla extending posterior to a vertical at rear edge of orbit. Interorbital ridges low, flaring laterally to base of tympanic spines; no median interorbital ridge. Occipital pit shallow, its anterior edge inwardly curved. A small but deep suborbital pit. Suborbital ridge with 4 retrorse spines, the first on lacrimal; posterior points divided into 2 points (except in young). Supraocular tentacle varying from smaller than spine to as long as orbit diameter. Upper opercular spine usually double (may be divided into 3 or 4 points); lower opercular spine usually single (rarely double) (Ref. 42181).
Inhabits coral reefs and areas with rubble bottom (Ref. 42181).
