This species is distinguished by the following characters: lateral-line scales 145-158; anal-fin rays 31-33; vertebrae: prehaemal 36-41, prepelvic 35-38, predorsal 38-42, total 87-93; dorsal-fin origin slightly overlapped with pelvic fin to slightly behind tip of pelvic fin, horizontal distance between origins of pelvic and dorsal fins 3.8-5.4% SL and 18.4-25.5% horizontal distance between origins of pelvic and anal fins. Colouration: gill chamber and branchial membranes are uniformly blackish; large dots along the upper margin of lateral line forming a wave-like boundary (Ref. 121637). |
