Dorsum, flank and head unspotted; caudal saddle and bar pattern intensely expressed with wide, dark and well defined saddle that extends onto the anal fin, with no interruption between saddle and anal-fin pigment fields (Ref. 44050, 81645)(in all other species with a caudal saddle there is a clear break in pigment between the saddle and the anal fin pigmentation)(Ref. 44050). Venter unpigmented; 38-40 vertebrae (Ref. 44050, 81645). 4-14 gill-rakers (Ref. 44050).
