D. XIII, 19 to 21; A. Ill, 16 or 17; scales 35 or 40. Body nearly 

 uniform brown. 



We have united the nominal Chaetodon carens with this species as 

 it shows no structural differences. The broad dark band from the 

 middle of the spinous dorsal extending down and occupying most of 

 the anal is apparently a variable character.
