Espinas dorsales (total) : 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 14; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 8; Vértebra: 39 - 40. The body is relatively deep, the head short and the snout bluntly rounded(Ref. 32347). Two pairs of short barbels are present (Ref. 32347). Small, offwhite tubercles are distributed over the sides of the snout (Ref. 32347).
