Etymology: Scolopsis:Name from the Greek masculine noun 'skolos' meaning 'thorn' and suffix '-opsis' (from Greek feminine n. 'opsis' meaning 'aspect', 'appearance') meaning ‘thorny appearance’ presumably referring to 'les dentelures de la préopercule, en ont aussi, et même d'épineuses, aux sous-orbitaires' mentioned by Cuvier (1814) in his designation of the genus. Name ending in -'opsis' are treated as feminine according to ICZN 1999: Article 30.1.2 (Ref. 130620). Eponymy: Arnout Vosmaer (1720–1799) was a Dutch naturalist and the Curator of the Menagerie and the Museum of the Stadtholder (Dutch Head of State). [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

This species is distinguished by the following set of characters: head is scaly except for subopercle which is naked with numerous small pores; scales on top of the head reaching forward to or just in front of anterior nostrils; lower margin of eye tangent to or just above a line from snout tip to upper pectoral-fin base; suborbital (second infraorbital) with a large retrorse spine, a small antrorse spine on third infraorbital immediately above suborbital spine; posterior margin of preopercle serrate or denticulate, the lower edge smooth; second anal-fin spine longer and more robust than first or third anal-fin spines. Colouration: most body scales, except for caudal peduncle, with a black spot; caudal peduncle white; a white band is usually present beneath the lateral line, from origin of lateral line to below posterior part of dorsal fin; a broad white bar from the nape onto operculum, and suborbital with distinctive white patch; upper limb of the opercular margin edged brown, and lower limb edged reddish orange; no wedge-shaped dark spot on the upper base of pectoral fin (sometimes small dark spot is present); dorsal, anal and pelvic fins are crimson or orangered; juveniles and smaller subadults without white bar on nape and with dark-edged white band from behind eye to upper part of caudal peduncle (Ref. 130620). Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
