Max length : 5.3 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 39226)
Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 11 - 12; Raggi anali molli: 8. A member of the group of species with complete or nearly complete lateral line, 8 1/2 branched dorsal rays, 9+8 branched caudal rays and no sexual dimorphism. With 10-13 bars; black basal caudal bar thin, not reaching dorsal and ventral midlines, without forwards and backwards directed triangular processes at each extremity (Ref. 39226).
