Spine dorsali (totale): 10; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 8-9; Spine anali 3; Raggi anali molli: 7 - 8; Vertebre: 24. Body is olive above and white below, with a silvery-white stripe on the back beneath the dorsal fin. A row of golden yellow spots are on the sides, mid laterally from behind the tip of the pectoral fin to the caudal peduncle. The upper and lower edges of the caudal fins are reddish (Ref. 3810).
