Các tia vây lưng cứng (tổng cộng) : 16 - 17; Các vây lưng mềm (tổng cộng) : 15 - 16; Tia cứng vây hậu môn: 2; Tia mềm vây hậu môn: 25 - 26. Pale tan or white with 4 broad reddish-brown bands on side between nape and caudal fin base. Dorsal and caudal fin rays have dark spots. 3 spines in dorsal finlet (Ref. 26938).
