Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 9.5 cm SL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 11333)
Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 24; Rayons mous anaux: 34; Vertèbres: 67. A single, very long terminal bulb, its length more than twice its greatest width, constricted at its midlength, with a short, very slender terminal projection included in a broad distal extension of the outer covering membrane of the bulb. Bulb and projection combined 3.2% SL. Barbel short, 42.5% SL. Axis of stem unpigmented. External chevron-shaped or roundish striated areas unpigmented, becoming almost contiguous distally. No inclusions in stem. Middorsal paired spots between occiput and dorsal-fin origin 9 (Ref. 11333).

50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00302 (0.00117 - 0.00783), b=3.12 (2.89 - 3.35), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

Niveau trophique (Ref.
69278): 4.0 ±0.7 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Résilience (Ref.
120179): Haut, temps minimum de doublement de population inférieur à 15 mois (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
