This stunning species has only been positively identified from a handful of specimens. It may be more common than it seems, because females and nonbreeding males are hard to tell apart from some other deep-water Aulonocara species. It remains undescribed. The species is known to reach about 15 cm (6 inches) total length. It has been trawled from 40-90m (approx. 130-300 feet) depth in the northern part of the SE Arm.
