It differs from congeners in having the following unique combination of characters: interorbital distance 27.9-35.9% HL; 54-66 lateral-line pores; body depth at anus 10.5-12.0% SL; length of adipose-fin base 17.3-22.4% SL; adipose fin separate from upper principal caudal-fin rays; post-adipose distance 11.8-14.3% SL; caudal peduncle length 14.8-17.7% SL; and caudal peduncle depth 7.8-8.9% SL. The taxonomy of congeners is also briefly discussed.
