Etymology: Enneanectes: Greek, ennea = nine times + Greek, nektos = that swimms (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: James Erwin Böhlke (1930–1982) and his wife Eugenia Louisa Böhlke née Brandt (1929–2001) were both ichthyologists who worked at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, where he was Curator of Ichthyology (1954–1982). [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Spine dorsali (totale) : 15; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 8 - 9; Spine anali: 2; Raggi anali molli: 16 - 17. This species is distinguished by the following characters: naked belly, pectoral-fin base, and cheek; adults with spiny preorbital bone; blunt snout; 3 rows of scales above rear pored scales, first 2 rows about equal-sized; first dorsal fin relatively short; fifth body bar prominently darker than first 4 and typically wider than 4-5 interspace; first four body bars are usually indistinct, often barely distinguishable; 4-5 interspace without central dark patch or dark accessory bar; 2 broad and solid dark or dusky red bands on caudal fin (in breeding males all dark); pale band flanked with dark or red stripes from eye across upper jaw; second dorsal fin with 3 rounded dark spots on membranes near the spine bases and thin band of fine speckling on outer rim of fin; anal fin with 4 or 5 dark patches; mode of D III+XII+8 and A II, 16; mode of 15 pored lateral-line scales and 21 scales in notched midline row (Ref. 93957).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Adults inhabit patch reefs and rocky bottoms (Ref. 5521). Eggs are hemispherical and covered with numerous sticky threads that anchor them in the algae on the nesting sites (Ref. 240). Larvae are planktonic which occur primarily in shallow, nearshore waters (Ref. 94114).
