Espinhos dorsais (total) : 0; Raios dorsais (total) : 11 - 12; Espinhos anais: 0; Raios anais : 8. Anterior barbels very thick and dark, length less than 5.5 times in head length, less than 2 times in gape height, longer than eye diameter; oral gape inferior; dorsal head profile irregular, convex caudally and with a 'bump' caused by premaxillaries.
