Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Vertebrae: 29. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: anal-fin rays 5½; lateral line scales 26-27 (mode 26); predorsal scales 9-11 (mode 10); gill rakers 9-11 (mode 10); total vertebrae 29; axial streak present; and 5-6 black lateral stripes in adults (>30 mm SL), with stripe +1 extending from behind the gill opening along scale row 1, reaching only to the midbody, between the origin and end of the dorsal-fin base (Ref. 138405).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: compressed.
