Painted Greenling. To 25.4 cm (10 in) TL ( Miller and Lea 1972).

Existing statements of range to Bering Sea are based on older reports that have been discounted (Mecklenburg et al. 2002). Although the Kachemak Bay report lacks a voucher specimen, this species is distinctive and not likely to be misidentified. Benthic; depth: intertidal to 249 m (816 ft) (min.: Eschmeyer and Herald 1983; max.: Love et al. 2005).
