Fin ray counts (mode): D. VII, 11-12 (11); A. 9-11 (11); pectoral rays, 15-17 (16). None of the dorsal spines are elongated.</paragraph>

<paragraph id="46D217552E4E3741093DA43728E3B6D2" pageNumber="46">The body is unscaled and somewhat laterally compressed. The subterminal mouth is U-shaped, lacks a rostral frenum, and the tongue is truncate. The conical teeth are set in 1-2 rows. Males have a slender, conical genital papilla; females have a blunt papilla.</paragraph>

<paragraph id="27BBF159EAD9146D1247E7A1D081A309" pageNumber="46">Coloration: In life, the body is a translucent, dark bluish-grey. A disjunct, bright yellow lateral stripe occurs just above the midline. The anterior segment of the yellow stripe originates anterior to the eye and extends posteriorly to the dorsal edge of the preoperculum. The posterior segment of the yellow stripe begins at the caudal peduncle and extends into the caudal fin rays (Fig. 2). The snout is marked with a yellow medial stripe, which begins near the upper lip and widens slightly to end between the eyes. A dark, broad lateral stripe begins at the anterior tip of the head, extends along the full length of the body just below the midline, and terminates at the caudal peduncle. A black ovoid to rectangular spot on the caudal fin originates at the terminus of the dark lateral stripe and terminates in the caudal rays. The black caudal spot is adjoined to the yellow caudal dash. The ventral surface below the dark lateral stripe is pale to translucent white. All fins are translucent or transparent. No sex- or age-related coloration differences are apparent.</paragraph>

|
<paragraph id="CA7F1515BECD3267F09B434BF4F29EF1" pageNumber="46">In preservative, the medial yellow stripe on the snout is marked by melanophores, and is surrounded by a narrow zone devoid of melanophores. The rest of the snout anterior to the eyes, and the upper lip, are dusky. A thin strip of melanophores extends from behind the eye to trail off on the operculum. This strip demarcates the ventral edge of the anterior yellow segment. The anterior and posterior yellow segments, and an interconnecting zone above the body midline are devoid of melanophores; the trunk is otherwise evenly covered with scattered melanophores. The dark caudal spot is clearly visible. Medial fin elements are outlined with melanophores.</paragraph>

. This species was not observed to clean other species or interact in other symbiotic relationships. Small and large individuals coexisted in the same aggregations and did not display territorial or hierarchical behaviors. Individual fish would often, though not always, move slowly toward cover when approached to less than 1 m by scuba divers.
