Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 15.2 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 81635)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 0; Raios dorsais moles (total) : 16 - 17; Espinhos anais: 0; Raios anais moles: 22 - 23. A moderate-sized Paramormyrops (Ref. 81635). Head rounded, blunt; snout is U-shaped from above (Ref. 81635). The species has a uniform dark brown colour overall, somewhat lighter on the underside (Ref. 81635).
Its electric organ discharge (EOD) is steroid-sensitive (Ref. 10765; 10764). A mature male was reported to have an EOD waveform twice as long as that of two mature females (Ref. 10764).
