The new species is described from four specimens collected at depths of 115-148 m near Palau and Pohnpei in Micronesia. It differs from the other three species of this genus in life color and in certain morphological characters, such as body depth, snout length, anterior three dorsal-fin spine lengths, caudal-fin length, and other characters. There are also genetic differences from the other four species of (d ≈ 0.04-0.12 in mtDNA cytochrome oxidase I). This species is presently known only from Palau and Pohnpei within Micronesia, but it likely occurs elsewhere throughout the tropical western Pacific.
该新物种是根据在密克罗尼西亚帕劳和波纳佩附近115 - 148米深处采集的四个标本描述的。它在生活颜色和某些形态特征上与该属的其他三个物种不同，如体深、吻长、前三根背鳍棘长度、尾鳍长度等特征。与其他四个物种在基因上也存在差异（线粒体细胞色素氧化酶I的d≈0.04 - 0.12）。目前仅在密克罗尼西亚的帕劳和波纳佩发现了该物种，但它可能在热带西太平洋的其他地方也有分布。
