Body covered in both ctenoid and cycloid scales. Predorsal region mostly covered in rather large cycloid scales until the vertical of preopercle, and thoracic region with small cycloid scales. Cheeks naked. dorsal regions of operculum with patches of small cycloid scales.</p><p>Cephalic sensory organs. See figure 3 for detailed sensory organ patterns. All canal pores absent. Sensory papillae in longitudinal pattern.

The chin row f in a pair of 2 papillae.</p><p>Live coloration. See figure 1A. Body in brownish yellow while male individuals express dark colorations under stress. Body lined with about 7 diamond-like dark blotches, and caudal peduncle with 2 to 3 rows of lightning-like transverse bands. Head with numerous cloud-like blotches. D1 with a dusky margin and a transparent band, possessing metallic shade. Centre of D1 with a smear of dark blotch. D2 with a dusky margin with whitish band, posterior tip with a yellowish dash; a series of elliptical blotch lined up along D2. Anal fin yellowish thoroughly with a dark margin. Pectoral fins and pelvic fins dusky without pigmentations. Caudal fin with wavy brown stripes.</p><p>Coloration in preservatives. See figure 2A. All bright colours fade away; whole body turn blackish and almost all body blotches become vague and indistinct.</p><p>Distribution and habitat</p><p>The species was collected near the coastal outlet pool of the NPU brackish pond, the substrates were rubble and the pool will be flooded with sea water during spring tide. The sympatric species being Metopograpsus thukuhar (Owen, 1839), Ligia exotica Roux, 1828, Platorchestia spp., Mugilidae spp., Scatophagus argus (Linnaeus, 1766) and Lutjanus argentimaculatus (Forsskål, 1775) .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038487F6FFC7C239FF466A2B46FEBC77	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
