Espinas dorsales (total) : 6 - 7; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 7 - 8; Espinas anales: 1; Radios blandos anales: 7 - 8. Diagnosis: 40-54 (usually 45-49) scales in longitudinal series on flanks (Ref. 57413, 81660), and 2-4 scales on caudal fin base (Ref. 57413). 11-18 (usually 13-514) scales in rearward transverse series (Ref. 57413, 81660). Body pigmentation usually pale/rusty brown, with rows of dark spots in longitudinal series dorsal to lateral midline (Ref. 57413). Prominent dark spot on dorsal part of pectoral fin base (Ref. 57413, 81660), if specimen is very dark spot may not be highly contrasted but is still distinct (Ref. 81660). Sensory papillae on upper rear field of opercle form a single arching row (Ref. 81660).
