Etymology: splendens: Name from Latin 'splendens' for shining, brilliant, or splendid; referring to the impressive appearance of mature males of the species; an indeclinable adjective.
Eponymy: Edwin Chapin Starks (1867–1932) was an American ichthyologist who was an authority on the osteology of fish. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Dorsal spines (total): 19 - 20; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8 - 9; Anal spines: 2; Anal soft rays: 17. This species of Starksia is distinguished by having a scaled body, with only two apparent soft pelvic-fin rays, and a male intromittent organ attached to or separate from a first anal-fin spine separate to some degree from remainder of fin; in the species complex of S. lepicoelia, with mostly scaled abdomen, an orbital cirrus, male intromittent organ completely separate from first anal-fin spine, and with 13 pectoral-fin rays; Colouration: two discrete black bars on preorbital portion of lower lip in both females and males, and greatly extended, ribbon-like, white orbital cirri in mature males (Ref. 121206).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00537 (0.00222 - 0.01301), b=3.08 (2.87 - 3.29), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
