Short description

Dorsal spines (total): 10; Dorsal soft rays (total): 14-16; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 12. Body light bluish to greenish dorsally, white ventrally. 3-4 scales on cheek; 19-25 predorsal scales; scaled dorsal and anal fins; Supra-temporal band of scales continuous at dorsal midline. Upper peduncular scale rows usually 11 (11-12); lower peduncular scale rows usually 15 (14-15). A small process on basioccipital for attachment of Baudelot's ligament.
