Espinhos dorsais (total) : 0; Raios dorsais (total) : 19 - 21; Espinhos anais: 0; Raios anais : 25 - 27. A moderate-sized Paramormyrops (Ref. 81635). The head profile is slightly concave dorsally; snout is U-shaped from above, it is truncate, rather deep, and fleshy (Ref. 81635). The fleshy chin appendage is slightly enlarged (Ref. 81635). The colour is dark chocolate-brown overall, including the fin rays (Ref. 81635).

Estimates based on models
Índice de diversidade filogenética (Ref.
