Size / Peso / Age
Maturità: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 13.9 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 111953); peso massimo pubblicato: 10.70 g (Ref. 122735)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 7; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 11 - 13; Spine anali: 1; Raggi anali molli: 14. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following characters: terminal mouth is oblique; distinct pigmentation of 5 large blotches on sides of trunk, last four of which are vertically elongate, dark blotch on upper half of pectoral-fin base, and broad suborbital patch crossing cheek from eye to middle of upper jaw; D2 13; A 14; dorsal fins not broadly connected; body with small cycloid scales; lateral series 54-66; nape with scales along naked midline; in males, maxilla extending beyond posterior margin of orbit, in females to posterior margin; first gill arch with seven thin rakers on ceratobranchial, one at angle, and six on epibranchial; horizontal midcheek row ‘b’ not extending forward beyond 3rd or 4th transverse suborbital row (Ref. 55435).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: oval.
This species is an inhabitant of estuaries and has been taken over fine sediments near mangroves.
Starks (1913) commented that it was not found in rocky tidal pools (Ref. 55435).
