Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 7; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 9 - 10; Anale stekels: 1; Anale zachte stralen: 10 - 11. This species of the S. elegans group, is distinguished by the following: larger body size
(maximum size > 4 cm (vs. the S. sapphirinus group) and pectoral-fin rays 15 (vs. 13-14); differs from other species of the S. elegans group by having wider interorbital width, males with occipital region almost naked, 7-8 oval bands or a black longitudinal band on lower body, with dorsal, anal, and caudal fins brown with white spots in males, a short red or orange line on posterior upper edge of caudal fin, pectoral fins with 3-8 rows of black and white spots in males and with one to two rows in females (Ref. 131349).
Cross section: oval.
This species prefers deep and fast-flowing water and cohabits with other Stiphodon species. The new species was found together with three other sicydiine species, including S. atropurpureus, S. percnopterygionus, and Sicyopterus longifilis; other common species are A. ocellaris and an unidentified species of Rhinogobius (Ref. 131349).
