Dimensione / Peso / Età
Maturità: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 10.3 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 128809); 10.9 cm SL (female)
Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 75 - 81; Raggi anali molli: 53 - 56; Vertebre: 68 - 71. This species is distinguished from is congeners by the following characters: first gill arch with 3-4 developed gill rakers; D 75-81; precaudal vertebrae 31-32; anal fin origin below vertebrae 32-36. Colouration: black pigmentation laterally in the roof of the mouth, very distinct from the outside as a black area half the head length between the eye and the upper jaw (Ref. 105129).
Cross section: compressed.
A rare species (Ref. 34024). Viviparous (Ref. 6527). All four male specimens with developed reproductive organ indicating internal fertilization, and a tentatively referred specimen is a female with distended, 15 mm long ovaries containing large eggs (0.7 mm) (Ref. 105129). A ripe female with eggs (ca. 1 mm diameter), caught in Hunter Commonwealth Marine Reserve, NSW, is the largest known specimen (Ref. 128809).
