Short description Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri

Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 11; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 13 - 14; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 3; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 8; Ryggkotor: 24.

Colouration: back and side with six oblique transversal bars, the second bar steeply oblique not becoming nearly horizontal ventral to lateral line, reaching opercular margin dorsal to and ventral to its posterior tip; the third bar on body without an anterior branch; the fourth band on head very narrow, much narrower than diameter of pupil (Ref. 132424).
