Spine dorsali (totale) : 2; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 22; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 13. A species of Chlidichthys with the following combination of characters: predorsal scales extending to supratemporal commissure; suborbital pores 6-8, usually 7; and sensory canal of infraorbital 1 usually not continuous with adjacent infraorbital (infraorbital 3) (Ref. 57771).
