The cephalic pore system conforms with pattern 1 of Lachner and Karnella (1980); very small anterior interorbital pore (AITO); cutaneous papilla system conforms with pattern A of Lachner and Karnella (1980). The first dorsal spine is variable in length, often elongate in adults, extending as far as the caudal peduncle in some individuals, this elongate first dorsal filament is easily damaged and missing in the holotype and some paratypes. Male genital papilla not fimbriate, flattened and relatively elongate with fringe of tiny papillae along distal edge, its maximum length extending slightly beyond origin of anal fin; female papilla short, bulbous, with several finger-like projections, extending to anal spine (Ref. 81726). Dorsal to anal fin-ray formula 9/8 (Ref. 116739). Allen, G.R., R.C. Steene and M. Orchard 2007 Fishes of Christmas Island, Second Edition.
