Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 0; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 16 - 19; Anale stekels: 0; Anale zachte stralen: 29 - 36. Diagnosis: The slightly shorter pectoral fin, 11-13% of standard length, and the black marking of the upper part of the dorsal fin are the only satisfactory characters separating this species from Chirocentrus nudus; there is also some black on the anterior part of the anal fin (Ref. 188).
