Etymology: Herklotsichthys: After Janus Adrian Herklots, Australian ichthyologist, 1820-1872; collettei: Named for Dr. Bruce Collette, Director of the National Marine Fisheries Service Systematics Laboratory.
Eponymy: Dr Geoffrey Alton Craig Herklots (1902–1986) was a British biologist, botanist and ornithologist at the University of Hong Kong (1928–1941). [...] Dr Bruce Baden Collette (d: 1934) is an American ichthyologist. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Dimensione / Peso / Età
Maturità: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 13.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 188); common length : 10.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 188)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 13 - 21; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 12 - 23. Distinguished from most other Australian Herklotsichthys by the presence of elongate wing-like scales beneath normal pre-dorsal scales and the absence of spots along the flank. Closely resembles H. quadrimaculatus in these features, but has more lower gill rakers. Three fine dark lines along upper flank and dorsal fin with distinct pale band separating grey base from black tip.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
A schooling species occurring in coastal waters.
