Sicyopterus calliochromus differs from S. longifilis with its distinctive gold and black band pattern and the female’s bulbous urogenital papilla with fimbriate projections around a tubular ovipositor. Moreover, it differs in having fewer scales in predorsal midline (10-16 vs. 18-21) and in transverse forward series (14-18 vs. 17-21) and fewer branched rays in caudal fin (13 vs. 14-15). (Ref. 90225).
