Espinhos dorsais (total) : 3; Raios dorsais (total) : 21 - 23; Raios anais : 15 - 18. This species is distinguished by the following characters: a foramen at the top of the pectoral-fin axil; no tentacles over the eye; fine lines and ridges on the snout, interorbital area, and on top of the head posterior to the orbit (true for the genus); body with distinct black spots on sides and pectoral-fin base; snout 5.0 % SL or greater; eye into caudal-peduncle depth 0.86-1.10 times (Ref. 91120).
This species is not common and apparently choose holes into which it fits snugly. Feeds on whole mlluscs (Amalda optima, Colubraria c.f. castanea, Harpa queketti, Phalium labliatum, and Ranella sp. (Ref. 91120).
