Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 1.8 cm SL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 56059); 2.4 cm SL (female)
Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 7 - 8; Rayons mous anaux: 9 - 10; Vertèbres: 31 - 32. Distinguished by the following autapomorphy: very large lateral process on base of fifth median anal-fin radial of adult males.
