The second spine of first dorsal fin longest, with very short filament in males. Caudal peduncle deep, but lower than body depth. Pelvic fins united to form a disc. Caudal fin rounded, shorter than head. Scales ctenoid to below origin of first dorsal fin, cycloid ventrally on abdomen, no scales on head, chest, predorsal and prepectoral areas. Scales visible on dead specimens by reticulate pattern of pigmentation along scale edges, visibility on live specimens unknown. Fresh coloration. Greenish or brownish gray, scale edges dark brown, scales on lower body outlined with orange (Fig. 50); a series of indistinct light brown blotches along back, the first on nape, ending at origin of first dorsal fin; side of body with a series of 7 indistinct blackish blotches; head with three blackish spots or double spots below eye, side of head with irregular small orange spots; first dorsal fin with 2 or 3 curved oblique crossbands; pectoral fins with 2 blackish spots at base; pelvic fins blackish (visible also on Fig. 50).
