. Body slender, elongate, laterally compressed, its greatest depth between pelvic-fin insertion and dorsal-fin origin. Dorsal profile of head sloping evenly from margin of upper lip to supraoccipital. Snout acutely rounded. Dorsal profile of body slightly convex from supraoccipital to dorsal-fin origin, thereafter slightly concave to caudal-fin base. Ventral profile gently convex from margin of lower lip to pelvic-fin origin, with slight concavity at isthmus; almost horizontal between pelvic- and anal-fin origins and gently concave at caudal peduncle. Mouth oblique, superior. Symphyseal knob on dentary strongly developed, fitting into corresponding indentation between premaxillae.

In 70% ethanol: Dorsal and dorsolateral surfaces of head and body brown; ventrolateral and ventral surfaces unpigmented. Opercle pale brown dorsally, with distinct brown midopercular stripe. Middorsal stripe one-fourth scale wide, extending from nape to dorsal part of caudal peduncle. Pigments on posterior edge of scales distinct and present on up to three longitudinal scale rows on dorsolateral portion of body. Subopercle and pectoral axillary lobe with concentration of melanophores imparting brown appearance. Patch of pigments on scale pocket restricted to pore-bearing scales of laterosensory canal system between pectoral- and anal-fin origins, and in a few specimens on row immediately above it. Pigmentation most intense along anterior portion of lateral line, decreasing gradually in intensity posteriorly. In some specimens, additional pigments on scales of lateral line row forming a faint stripe. Brown midlateral stripe prominent, slightly more intense posteriorly, of approximately oneand-a-half scales width throughout its length, with very discrete and darker upper and lower edges. Stripe extending from behind pectoral girdle to tip of hypural plate. Dorsolateral stripe conspicuous and dark brown or blackish anteriorly, becoming less distinct and paler posteriorly; lower edge of stripe and of dorsal background pigmentation very discrete. Light area between midlateral and supralateral stripes almost totally devoid of pigments, of approximately half-scale width. Posterior extremity of axial streak overlapping midlateral stripe; extending forward along its upper edge until under dorsal-fin base and then for 34 scales in light area. Supraanal pigmentation originating slightly anterior to anal-fin origin, terminating at base of posteriormost anal-fin ray. Subpeduncular pigmentation present. Pectoral, dorsal, pelvic and anal fins hyaline, with scattered melanophores on rays. Caudal fin hyaline, with a diffuse brownish patch of pigments on proximal part of 4-5 outermost principal rays of each lobe; a very narrow black margin along posterior edge present in some individuals.
