" The height of the body is contained twice and two-thirds in 

 the total length. There is no notch between the prreorbital and 

 the other suborbitals, their lower or posterior margin being equally 

 and finely serrated. The dorsal spines become gradually longer 

 posteriorly. Caudal rather deeply emarginate, with the lobes 

 rounded. Brownish, sides of the head and the scales above the 

 anal fin with round bluish spots ; anal and dorsal fins very dark 

 posteriorly ; axillary or dorsal spots none."

The height of the body is contained twice and three-fourths in 

 the total length ; prreorbital denticulated. The dorsal spines 

 increase in length posteriorly ; caudal very slightly emarginate. 

 Brown, lighter beneath, with four yellowish cross-bands ; one from 

 the neck to the operculum, the second from the front part of the 

 dorsal fin to behind axil of the pectoral, the third from the posterior 

 dorsal spines, and the fourth, spot-like, on the back of the tail ; 

 two parallel series of black spots from the opercle along the side of 

 the trunk."
