Ραχιαίες άκανθες (συνολικά) : 6 - 8; Μαλακές ραχιαίες ακτίνες (συνολικά) : 8 - 10; Εδρικές άκανθες: 1; Μαλακές εδρικές ακτίνες: 11 - 14. Transparent and blue-green in color, silvery midlateral stripe and abdomen (Ref. 4125). Ascending process of premaxilla moderately long and narrow, lateral process short and wide. Ramus of dentary highly elevated posteriorly. Midlateral band narrow (Ref. 9760). Two rows of pigment spots may be present below lateral band (Ref. 37816).
