Épines dorsales (Total) : 13; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 7; Épines anales: 3; Rayons mous anaux: 10. Body with about 5 to 7 complete broad dusky bands. A distinct dark spot centered on lateral line along dusky band below fifth or sixth dorsal-fin spine. Adults with second prominent anterior canine approximately 1/2 the size of the first, directed mostly dorsally. (Ref 9823)
