Preorbital width about equal to eye diameter or slightly greater. Preopercular notch and knob poorly developed. Scale rows on back rising obliquely above lateral line. Generally pink, grading to white on lower half of the body. A series of seven narrow brown bars extend from the back to about half way down the side. A big black blotch is on the peduncle and the adjacent caudal-fin base (Ref. 469). Body depth 2.6-3.1 in SL (Ref. 90102).
