Description: The new species is distinguished from all congeners in the western Indian Ocean by having a larger pre-second dorsal fin length, a longer head, a larger interdorsal space, a larger intergill length, a longer pectoral-fin posterior margin, a shorter caudal fin, an intermediate caudal fin preventral margin, and a larger internarial width (Ref. 114990).
