Épines dorsales (Total) : 2 - 3; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 7 - 8; Épines anales: 2 - 3; Rayons mous anaux: 7 - 9. Distinguished from all its congeners by the following combination of characters: dorsal fin with 8 branched rays; anal fin with 7-9 branched rays; 2 rows of pharyngeal teeth on both sides with 2 and 5 teeth, respectively; wide caudal peduncle; 8-11 gill rakers; lateral line scales 35-39; scale rows above lateral line 7-8; scale rows below lateral line 3; 39 vertebrae, 22 abdominal and 17 caudal; large fourth and fifth infraorbital bones; maxilla with a very marked and pointed anterior process; frontal bone expanded at its middle; wide neurocranium bone; the lower branch of the pharyngeal bone is robust; large and narrow urohyal (Ref. 72459). Other diagnostic characters include infraorbital bones broad, width of infraorbitals 2 and 5 about 4-5 times width of sensory canal on same bones, presence of a black crescentic mark on scale pocket of each flank scale, head length about equal to body depth, mouth terminal, and 4 scale rows between lateral line and pelvic origin (Ref. 59043).
Occurs in streams with clear waters and gravel bottom and prefers moderate flowing stretches (Ref. 72459). Threatened due to water abstraction for agriculture, construction of reservoirs and introduction of exotic species (Ref. 59043).
