It is characteristic in having densely tuberculate skin; an elongate, ovoid thoracic adhesive apparatus with an oval central depression from which the ridges on the apparatus diverge; two blackish-brown blotches at caudal-fin base behind the hypural plate; well developed plicae on the ventral surfaces of simple and adjacent branched rays of pectoral and pelvic fins; a narrow caudal peduncle (5.5–7.9 % SL) and long 2 + 6–7 gill rakers on the first branchial arch.
