This species is distinguished by the following set of characters: slender body with a uniform depth (9.2%-14.4% of SL), a complete lateral line, and a scarcely scaled or scaleless predorsal body; broadly rounded caudal fin; presence of body coloration of 17-18 brown vertical bars narrower than interspaces, particularly on the caudal peduncle flank; a thick brown-black stripe running along dorsal midline from behind head to dorsal fin origin; symmetrical black vertical bars on sides of body; longer distance from the origin of the anal fin to the origin of the pelvic fin than the distance from the origin of the anal fin to the base of the caudal fin (Ref. 133037). |
