Etymology: Grallenia: Named for Gerald R. Allen, (G+R+Allen+suffix '-ia'), in honor of his great contribution to our knowledge of the diversity of coral-reef fishes; ornata: Name 'ornata' from the Latin word meaning 'ornate or decorated', in reference to the unique female colour phase of the new species.
Eponymy: Dr Gerald Ray Allen (d: 1942) The genus was named to honour “…his great contribution to our knowledge of the diversity of coral-reef fishes.” (See Allen, GR) (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Épines dorsales (Total) : 7; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 8 - 10; Épines anales: 1; Rayons mous anaux: 8 - 10; Vertèbres: 27. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: dorsal rays VI + I,8-10 (rarely 8); anal rays I,8-10 (rarely 10); pectoral rays 13-17 (usually 15); first dorsal spine of male produced into elongate filament; absence of pelvic frenum; absence of cephalic sensory canals and associated pores; total longitudinal scales 14-22 (mean 17), including 3-6 (mean 4.6) scales immediately behind pectoral fin and 10-16 12.7) on posterior portion of body, main mass of body scales extending forward from caudal-fin base to about level of sixth segmented dorsal fin ray; colour in alcohol yellowish white with seven widely spaced small brown spots or horizontally elongate streaks in mid-lateral row on side of body, pair of curved dark markings on caudal-fin base, triangular dark mark below eye, large dark blotch on anterior opercle, oblique dark band on lower pectoral-fin base and extending under opercle, row of 10 dark spots along dorsal midline from first dorsal fin to caudal-fin base with corresponding row of smaller spots on either side of midline, and five elongate dark streaks on ventral midline from base of anterior anal-fin rays to middle of caudal peduncle; and live male and female individuals capable of 'switching on' bright nuptial/territorial colour patterns (only males possess this ability in most other congenerics) (Ref. 138626).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: oval.
