This medium-sized species may be recognized by having 17-17-15 smooth dorsal scale rows. Its dorsal ground color is light brown and yellowish, with 3 dorsal dark brown lines that extend from the neck to the tail. The 2 more lateral lines, running along the fourth and fifth dorsal rows, begin as series of points and the vertebral line one is about 5 scale rows wide ( Dixon and Michaud 1992). Ventral coloration is white or light yellow ( Dixon and Michaud 1992). The most similar sympatric species is Erythrolamprus epinephelus , which differs in having a grayish ground color with mainly transversal blotches or bands, 2 lateral dark lines that begin only in the posterior portion of the body extending to the tail, and frequently a reddish to yellowish venter with black blotches ( Dixon 1983).
