Twelve of 14 meristic characters are significantly different for males and 9 of 13 meristic characters for females, although ranges overlap in all cases (Table 5). Discriminant function analyses indicate that the variables with the best discriminating power are pectoral fin rays, scales to pelvic fin, postorbital length and caudal peduncle length in males and pectoral fin rays, scales to pelvic fin, scales to dorsal fin, total scales and predorsal length in females.

. Twelve of 14 meristic characters are significantly different (p&lt;0.05) for males, although ranges overlap, the characters not significantly different being pelvic fin rays counts and precaudal vertebrae. Nine of 13 meristic characters are significantly different (p&lt;0.05) for females, although ranges overlap, the characters not significantly different being anal and pelvic fin rays counts, gill rakers and precaudal vertebrae. Tests for normality and heteroscedasity show that 8 morphometric characters can be compared between species as ratios with t-tests in females but only one in males. Males are more similar morphometrically than females. The 8 significantly different (p &lt;0.05) characters in females are predorsal length, head depth and prepelvic length, all in standard length, and interorbital width, postorbital length, mouth width and anal fin length, all in head length, and head depth in head length. Th e sole male character is head width in head length.

series of the new species is darker just proximal to the clear margin, lighter in mid-fin and dark again at the base. Th e dorsal fin has irregular pigmentation on the membranes and, to a lesser extent, on the rays. Th e pigmentation may involve an overall darker colour in contrast to the light margin or may have some pattern to it. The pattern is often elongate and short blotches with no regular arrangement and sometimes may appear as up to 5 wavy and oblique bands. Dark pigmentation is found just behind the first ray on the fin membrane. Th e anal fin is darkest just proximal to the clear margin. Up to the last 6 membranes of the anal fin are dark and this pigment may be broken up in as many as 4 elongate bars along each membrane. A similar pattern is found in some dorsal fins and the general effect on both fins is that the postero-dorsal (anal fin) and postero-ventral (dorsal fin) parts of these fins are the darkest. The dorsal, anal and caudal fins generally have more pigment on the membranes than the rays and in some this is quite distinctive, making the rays stand out.
