Etymology: Aulopareia: Greek, aulos = flute + Greek, pareia = cheek (Ref. 45335); caerulostellata: Name 'caerulostellata' from the Latin word 'caeruleus' and 'stellatus', meaning 'blue' and 'starred', in reference to the conspicuous pattern of the scattering vivid bluish spots restricted to the dorsal half of the body of the new species.

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 9. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: predorsal scales 0-6; distinct body colouration comprising conspicuous irregular rows of rounded iridescent bluish spots (turned brown in preserved specimens) along the side above midline; fewer spots in juveniles and females; 3-5 irregular rows of iridescent bluish spots that do not overlap with the dark brown blotches along the midline; and 11.8% COI-based uncorrected genetic distances (Ref. 138974).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
