Eponymy: Edwin Chapin Starks (1867–1932) was an American ichthyologist who was an authority on the osteology of fish. [...] Dr David Wayne Greenfield (d: 1940) is an ichthyologist, marine biologist, zoogeographer and ecologist who is now a Research Associate at the California Academy of Sciences.

Short description
Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri
Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 18 - 20; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 7 - 9; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 2; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 15 - 16; Ryggkotor: 32. This species of Starksia is distinguished by the following set of characters: orbital cirrus present; two to three rows of dark blotches on side of body, blotches in middle row (or ventral row if only two rows) mostly circular, never vertically elongate or oval; white (or pale), mostly round spots (absence of melanophores against a darker background) on at least portions of cheek, opercle, and gular region, this spotting pattern more prominent in males; males with dark blotch of pigment on anterior portion of spinous dorsal fin; first anal-fin spine one-half to three-quarters length of male genital papilla; belly naked (Ref. 86414).
