Size / Gewicht / Alter
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 4.0 cm SL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 1602)
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 8; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 9; Afterflossenstacheln: 2; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 8. Plain dark brown to black, showing a lined pattern on occasion, and usually when caught or as juveniles. Black lines slightly broader in width to pale interspaces. Sometimes confused with the striped form of Siphamia tubifer or S. versicolor, that has narrower black lines (Ref. 48635).
