Body size moderate, up to 260 mm. Size at reproductive maturity and sexual dimorphism unknown. Scales circular or slightly ovoid, present on entire post-cranial portion of body from nape to caudal appendage. Gape size in mature specimens large, extending to or beyond posterior nares. Mouth position superior, lower jaw longer than upper, rictus decurved. Chin fleshy and bulbous. Anterior narial pore partially or entirely included within gape in large narial fold. Anterior nares large, subequal to diameter of eye. Mesethmoid anterior margin concave with short paired anterolateral processes. Mesethmoid neck broad, more than width of ventral ethmoid. Ethmoid region between anterior nares broad, its anterior margin rounded. Circumorbital series ovoid. Eye position lateral, lower margin of eye dorsal to rictus.</paragraph>

<paragraph id="24EEA9CCB00919C37E1EC7D6468B235D" lastPageNumber="29" pageNumber="28">Color in alcohol. Ground color of body dark brown dorsally grading to pale brown ventrally. Chromatophores most densely concentrated along dorsum near midline. Body with 21 or 22 (median 21) obliquely oriented pale-yellow bands on ventrolateral surface extending from tip of tail to pectoral-fin base. Band appearance variable in shape, width, and arrangement, both on and among individuals. Band-interband margins irregular and wavy. One to three inverted Y-shaped (divided ventrally) dark bands in posterior portion of body, at bands 6-9 from posterior tip of tail. Pale bands do not extend above lateral line along anterior 2/3 of body. Interband contrast increases ventrally and caudally, and more pronounced in smaller specimens. Anterior 80% of dorsum (anterior to anal-fin clear patch) without banding. Three bands from either side meet on ventral midline, between anus and anal-fin origin. A single band posterior to last anal-fin ray.</paragraph>
