This species is distinguished by the following characters: with many, small, black dots below mid-lateral row of blotches (Z4) at least in individuals larger than 5.0 cm SL (these dots are found along a wide band between the pectoral-fin base and the caudal peduncle, and even on the belly in some individuals, while being restricted to a field above and in front of the anal-fin base in other individuals: some individuals smaller than 5.0 cm SL, the black dots are absent; usually with a single, black spot at the upper caudal peduncle; blotches in Z4, below dorsal-fin base, are usually round or square-shaped; with black nares; black spots on caudal peduncle are small and often hardly visible (Ref. 132444).
