Épines dorsales (Total) : 13; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 8; Épines anales: 2; Rayons mous anaux: 6. A species of waspfish with the following characters: gill rakers 14-17 (mode 15); posterior tip of depressed pelvic-fin spine often reaching the anus; relatively short length of upper-jaw, 16.7-18.9% of SL, mean 17.6%; depth of maxilla relatively low (5.1-7.2% of SL, mean 5.9%); longest anal-fin soft ray relatively long (23.8-30.9% of SL, mean 28.8%); relatively small, broad and horizontally oriented first blotch (mean width 12.5% of SL, mean height 10.0% of SL), lateral line running through upper one-third of blotch; extremely small, like a dot, second blotch, mean width 1.2% of SL, mean height 1.5% of SL, located at base of first dorsal-fin soft ray, not on fin membrane; no third blotch (Ref. 77064).
Often occurs on flat, relatively open bottoms in 12-65 m, usually observed on turbid inshore coral reefs (Ref 90102).
