Tamaño / Peso / Edad
Madurez: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 9.0 cm SL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 188); common length : 8.0 cm SL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 188)
Espinas dorsales (total) : 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 13 - 21; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 12 - 23. Distinguished from most other Australian Herklotsichthys by lacking spots on the flank, except for a single dark spot behind gill cover and lacking elongate wing-like scales underneath the normal paired pre-dorsal scales. Lacks the 3 distinct dark lines along upper flank; no dark tip to dorsal fin.

Schools in coastal waters and appears to enter estuaries, if not to ascend some way up to rivers.
