<paragraph id="73680522B48467A1F991358E33453FDC" lastPageNumber="15" pageNumber="14">Color pattern in alcohol (Fig. 6). Background color grayish yellow; nape, snout, upper lip and naked portion of cheek darker gray, scaled portion of cheek lighter; lower lip yellowish white. Vertical, blackish mark in the corner of the preopercule, continued into the interopercule as a faint spot; indistinguishable or faded in specimens smaller than 65.0 mm SL. Opercule with a dark, brown spot on dorsal edge, reaching first scale of upper lateral line, otherwise uniformly dusky yellow or silvery white in some specimens probably depending on preservation. Ventrally, gill cover dusky yellow or yellowish white in some specimens; branchiostegal membrane also yellowish, grayish brown in one specimen 202.0 mm SL. Chest yellow laterally and ventrally, white in many specimens, juveniles with distinctive silvery-white chest region; in best preserved specimens dusky yellow or white extends ventrally to base of caudal fin and to H3 on caudal peduncle flanks. Flanks with 7, dorso-ventrally directed, dark-gray bars fading or disappearing ventrally (Fig. 2a). Bar 1 expands from the 7th -8th predorsal scale to the base of the dorsal fin between spines 4-5 forming an inverted triangle; its anterior edge roughly delimited by the extrascapular and its posterior edge descending ventrally to the pectoral-fin insertion. Bar 2 extends between the base of dorsal-fin spines 6-7 and 9, and runs vertically to H6-7. Bar 3 extends between the base of dorsal-fin spines 10-11 and 12-13, descends ventrally and slightly caudally oriented, fading progressively to H6-7. A well-demarked, black medial spot is located on bar 3, extending rostro-caudally between scales 11 and 14-15 of E3 and dorso-ventrally between the lower half of E4 and E1, such that the upper lateral line traverses the dorsal 1/4-1/3 of the spot. Bar 4 extends between the bases of dorsal-fin spines 14-15 to 17, and descends ventro-caudally to the upper lateral line, where it merges with bar 5 such that the two bars form a “Y” shaped figure (Fig. 2a); in specimens 50.0 mm SL or less, bar 4 may appear as a spot on the base of the dorsal, not quite reaching bar 5. Bar 5 extends between the base of dorsal-fin spine 18 and ray 1 or rays 1-2 and rays 4- 5, it descends vertically fading at H1-2. Bar 6 extends from the base of the 7-8 dorsal fin rays to the second postdorsal scale in the caudal peduncle, descends vertically and fades at H1-2. Bar 7 covers the area between the last 4-5 lower lateral line scales and the base of the caudal fin, disappearing ventrally at H2.</paragraph>

Anal fin hyaline to slightly dusky; 4 longitudinal, parallel gray bands along soft portion; largest specimen with dark gray lappets. Caudal fin gray-brown, with whitish longitudinal bands of variable length and elongate spots, forming no evident pattern; specimens up to 85.0 mm SL with 4 dark, vertical bands that gradually turn into the above described pattern with increasing size. Pectoral fin immaculate. Pelvic fin dusky, darker distally; spine and first ray whitish gray to dusky.</paragraph>

Background color yellowish olive green; head silvery with yellow on gill cover, snout gray, upper lip iridescent blue extending behind lips to preopercular mark. Dorsal fin reddish with faint iridescent blue spots, especially on the soft portion; some specimens with proximal third of spiny portion yellow, probably due to breeding condition; anal fin red or reddish with distinctive iridescent blue horizontal banding; caudal fin reddish with a variable pattern of iridescent blue stripes and spots. Five to seven faint, yellow horizontal stripes alternating with olive green along body, but not always distinct.</paragraph>
