Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal soft rays (total): 24 - 25; Anal soft rays: 37 - 39. This species is distinguished by the following characters: combination of the barbel morphology where there is a very small distance between proximal and distal bulbs (0.1-0.2 % SL; 0.01-0.07 times distal bulb length), with three long terminal filaments, longest 30.4-42% SL (Ref. 131343).
