This species is distinguished by the following characters: D XIII,10, the last ray divided; A II,7: pectoral fin rays 13; gill rakers 2 + 5 = 7 (some rudimentary); preopercular spines 5; upper jaw longer than the lachrymal length; no papillae on both posterior portion of upper jaw and outer edge of lower jaw; first sensory pores of lower jaw separate; anterior tip of isthmus not reaching forward to level of 5th sensory pore on lower jaw; spiny portion of dorsal fin with a large black blotch which extends onto the back (Ref. 75988).
Dredged from a coral rubble slope (Ref. 75988).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.1 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
