Tamaño / Peso / Edad
Madurez: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 13.0 cm SL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 188); common length : 10.0 cm SL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 188)
Espinas dorsales (total) : 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 13 - 21; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 12 - 23. Distinguished from most other Australian Herklotsichthys by the presence of elongate wing-like scales beneath normal pre-dorsal scales and the absence of spots along the flank. Closely resembles H. quadrimaculatus in these features, but has more lower gill rakers. Three fine dark lines along upper flank and dorsal fin with distinct pale band separating grey base from black tip.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
A schooling species occurring in coastal waters.
