Etymology: Pempheris: Greek, pempheris = the name of a fish (Ref. 45335); convexa: Name from Latin, referring to the strongly rounded dorsal profile of the head.

Dorsal spines (total): 6; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 39 - 40; Vertebrae: 25. This species is distinguished by the following characters: D VI,9; A III,39-40; pectoral rays 17-19; lateral-line scales 52-56; ctenoid scales on side of chest, nape, and body below dorsal fin to the scale row above lateral line; scaled caudal fin on about basal fourth; gill rakers 29-31; body depth 2.0-2.1 in SL; head length 3.3-3.4 in SL; dorsal profile of head strongly convex; relatively small eye, orbit diameter 8.0-8.5 in SL; caudal-fin length 3.65-3.85 in SL, moderately emarginate, with caudal concavity 3.65-4.1 in head length; pectoral-fin length 3.3-3.4 in SL; color in alcohol yellowish to orangish brown; dorsal fin with brownish yellow rays, translucent yellow membranes, and a large blackish spot distally on posterior spines and anterior soft rays; anal fin with basal fourth dark reddish brown, a broad brownish yellow zone, and a narrow whitish border, except fin anterior to about fifth soft ray darker brown; caudal fin brown on scaled basal part, brownish yellow distally; paired fins brownish yellow; dark bluish gray iris with brown pupil (Ref. 97766).
Occupies different habitats, where 3 individuals were taken from 3 different areas a coral reef, a rock wall in a small boat harbor, or from a large surge channel which is fully exposed to the open sea (Ref. 97766).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01380 (0.00591 - 0.03225), b=3.02 (2.83 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.5 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).
