Etymology: Owstonia: Named for Alan Owston (1853‒1915), an amateur naturalist, yachtsman and collector of Asian wildlife, notably fishes from Japan and China; aurora: Named for the 'Aurora 2007' Philippine Expedition, a project under the Census of Philippine Deep-Sea Biodiversity.
Eponymy: Alan Owston (1853–1915) was an English businessman who was a collector of Asian wildlife, as well as a yachtsman. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 3; Dorsal soft rays (total): 21; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 14; Vertebrae: 28. This species is distinguished by the following set of characters: D III, 21; A I,14; gill rakers on first arch 35-38; scales on cheek 80-86 in 7-8 rows; lateral line unbranched, not forming loop in front of dorsal fin, and ending below 17th-22nd dorsal-fin soft rays; oblique body scales rows in mid-lateral series 54-58; lower margin of the preopercles rounded; a prominent black blotch on anterior dorsalfin membrane, which extend downward to dorsal-fin base, the remaining membrane of dorsal, anal, and caudal fins are red with white margins and bases, distinct white stripes on mid dorsal and caudal fin membranes; membranes between the maxillary and premaxillary with discontinuous black stripes or patches (Ref. 127466).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
