The spinous dorsal fin is variably dusky, frequently with a narrow 

 pale distal margin. Tlie soft dorsal is usually dusky between and also 

 distal to the bod}' band extensions on the fin. In males the anal fin 

 is uniformly dusky with a narrow proximal pale stripe. In females 

 the anal fin is variably dusky anterior^ but posteriorly with pale 

 areas forming diffuse spots distally on the fin. The caudal fin bears 

 three to five (usually four) dusky, sometimes irregular, bands, palest 

 posteriorly and dorsally. The pectoral fin is dusky with a darker, 

 sometimes well-defined area basally on the ventral rays. There 

 is a pale band anterior to this last area on the fleshy pectoral base, 

 followed by a dark crescentic mark and sometimes additional dark 

 marks, also on the base. The pelvic fin is variably pale to dusky.
