This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: 43-44 scaled rows in longitudinal series; 42 pored lateral-line scales; 5 + 10 gill rakers; 10 scale rows below lateral line; a relatively long snout (snout length 9.6-9.7% SL); 8 posterior branches on the main supratemporal sensory canal, and a coloration consisting of a yellow caudal fin, and a wide, red, mid-lateral stripe with no blotching, the space above which is white anteriorly, becoming yellow from beneath the dorsal fin to the caudal peduncle.
