This species is distinguished by the following set of characters: anterior nostril low on snout; copulatory organ of males with 3 pairs of pseudoclaspers, all joined at base in narrow stalked stem, the outer pseudoclasper is wing-shaped, V-shaped flap-like inner pseudoclasper anteriorly joined to outer pseudoclasper, short, second inner pseudoclasper inserted between the two, intermediate in length, finger-like in shape, with
supporter; moderately large species, reaching to about 7.0 cm SL; 13-14 precaudal vertebrae, 45-50 total vertebrae; 22-26 pectoral fin rays; 8-9 branchiostegal rays; a small scale patch on upper cheek only on the head; scales on operculum absent; upper preopercular pore present; small pore below the eye; elongated otolith, its length to height 2.1-2.3, inclined sulcus, fused colliculi; maxilla is expanded posterio-ventrally (Ref. 76869).
