Short description

Dorsal spines (total): 3 - 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 37-40; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 27 - 32. Caudal fin subtruncate or slightly rounded, emarginate in young. Coloration more spectacular compared to other nototheniids. Juveniles with a black blotch on distal end of pectoral fin.

Juveniles found in 1-10 m depth and possibly having a pelagic habit, adults in deeper water (Ref. 11892). Adults feed on crustaceans and fishes (Ref. 11892). Spawn once a year (Ref. 57661). Some information needs to be transferred from N. coriiceps to this species (RF).
