This species differs from the similar C. profundus (characters in parentheses) in a more slender preopercular spine with the distance of the two dorsal points more than the length of the longest point (vs. stouter, distance less than the longest point); pectoral fin rays 17 (vs. 18-20); the dark pelvic fin with a black blotch basally on second ray (vs. pale, with a few dark spots); first dorsal fin with a basal black blotch reaching from first to fourth membranes, and a distal ocellate black blotch on third membrane (vs. basal black blotch only reaching from second to third membranes, and third membrane distally dark but not ocellate); distal three-fourths of anal fin dark grey (vs. only distal one-fourth of the anal fin dark); thorax of male plain white (vs. dark grey); snout dorsally with an oblique dark band (vs. without a band, but with a few dark spots); dorsal part of the pectoral fin base pale but with a dark streak behind the pectoral fin (vs. dorsal part black, no dark streak behind pectoral fin); dorsal half of the caudal fin with 4 oblique dark streaks (vs. pale, with a few dark spots). This species differs from Callionymus bentuviai in having just a single dorsal point on the preopercular spine (vs. additional to the small antrorse barb and the main tip; 2 points in C. bentuviai); pectoral fin rays 17 (vs. 19-22); median filaments of the caudal fin short (vs. very long); anal fin with the distal three-fourths dark grey (vs. distal one-fourth dark); dorsal half of the caudal fin with 4 oblique dark streaks (vs. 1 horizontal dark streak); second membrane of the first dorsal fin of the male not deeply incised (vs. deeply incised). This species is distinguished from Callionymus africanus in having just a single dorsal point on the preopercular spine (vs. additional to the small antrorse barb and the main tip; 2 points); first dorsal fin with the basal dark blotch reaching from first to fourth membranes, and a distal black ocellus on third membrane (vs. basal black blotch reaching from second to third membranes, no distal ocellus on third membrane); colouration of the second dorsal fin, with vertical dark grey bars (vs. 2 horizontal rows of dark spots and 3 rows of white spots); anal fin with the distal three-fourths dark grey (vs. distal one-fourth dark); dorsal half of the caudal fin with 4 oblique dark streaks (vs. pale, with a scattered dark spots); depressed body (Ref. 96973).
