Three juvenile bands on a paler olive background. This subspecies differs from Erronea caurica nabeqensis Heiman & Mienis 2000 (downranked to the status of variant by Lorenz, 2002), which is restricted to Aqaba gulf, by the weaker teeth, its smaller lateral spots, its more marked banding, and a less developed callus. Regarding the morphological differences with the parent species Erronea caurica (Linnaeus, 1758), they are hardly identifiable. The three juvenile bands are often weakly pronounced; the central band shows more or less discernible darker blotches on its margins.
