Morphology:

Differentiated from P. binotatus in having a dark wedge-shaped marking (vs. a round spot) on the sides of the body immediately below the dorsal fin. However, since there seems to be a considerable amount of variation in the markings between populations, if may also mean that banksi and binotatus represent 2 extreme color forms of a single species.
