Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 4; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8; Anal soft rays: 7. This species of the subgenus Synchiropus (Acommissura) is distinguished by the following characters: small branchial opening; head short (3.2-3.6 in SL); eye large (2.5-2.6 in head length); preopercular spine has a short, upcurved main tip, three curved points on its dorsal margin, with ventral margin and base smooth; first dorsal fin is higher than second fin, with four spines, no filaments, and first spine longest; second dorsal fin distally slightly convex, eight branched rays (last divided at base); anal fin with seven unbranched rays (last divided at base); pectoral-fin rays 21-22; caudal fin elongate, distally rounded, and slightly asymmetrical (upper rays shorter than lower rays); thorax, lower opercle and pelvic-fin base with small ocelli; male with four dark brown saddles and anal fin dark grey (Ref. 111072).

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=0.00955 (0.00394 - 0.02313), b=2.96 (2.75 - 3.17), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-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).
