🐟 Physical Description
Dorsal soft rays (total): 11 - 12; Anal soft rays: 8; Vertebrae: 33 - 35. Morphologically almost identical with S. octozona, but differs strikingly in coloration.

Most of the specimens have only 7-8 incomplete bands; only the 3.77 cm specimen from Huay Huang has 12 bands, many of which go completely around the body (as in S. octozona). Predorsal scales about 40 and transverse scale rows 19/1/14.: elongated.
