Etymology: Hypoplectrus: Greek, hypo = under + Greek, plektron = sting, spur (Ref. 45335); randallorum: Named for Helen and John E. Randall, who first recognized the tan hamlet as a possible new species in their 1960 paper. The ending orum refers to "of man (men) and woman(women)". J. E. Randall collected the holotype (Ref. 88139).

Short description Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale): 10; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 15; Spine anali 3; Raggi anali molli: 7; Vertebre: 23 - 24. The tan hamlet is distinguished from its congeners by coloration. Its body is uniformly light brown to tan colored. It possesses distinct nose spots, a spot at the base of the pectoral fin and a caudal peduncle spot (Ref. 88139).

A 7.02 cm SL specimen of this species, collected 8 July 1990 on reefs off the Discovery Bay Marine Laboratory in Jamaica, had a freshly consumed a cleaner goby, Elacatinus evelynae (16.5 mm SL) in its stomach content (Ref. 88139).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01778 (0.00680 - 0.04650), b=3.03 (2.80 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.7 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
