Espinas dorsales (total) : 4; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 8; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 7. Unbranched infraorbital canal, very short upward and downward branches of lateral line. Anal fin dark with many darker spots (Ref. 37424). First dorsal spine is extended with a filament in males. This species has double series of small pearly spots along lower sides (Ref. 48636).
