One specimen is in my collection; it was not seen fresh. In alcohol it is dark brown, almost 
black; side with black spot: a black spot on base of posterior rays of anal and of dorsal, a whitish spot 
above base of pectoral. It corresponds fairly well with the figure in Gunther, Siidsee, plate 103, iig. B.
