It is characteristic in having a thoracic adhesive apparatus consisting of ridges of skin extending in an elliptical field with a chevron-shaped median depression; the ventral surface of pectoral-fin spine and first pelvic-fin ray without striae; body with dense tuberculation; distinct light cream midlateral and middorsal stripes running along the entire length of the body; the first branchial arch with 2+7 rakers; a slender caudal peduncle (depth 8.6-10.1 % SL) and a long dorsal-fin spine (17.1-18.8 % SL).
