Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie
Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 4; Rayons mous anaux: 65; Vertèbres: 54. This species is diagnosed from all congeners in the Indian subcontinent by the absence (vs. presence) of a process on the posteromedial edge of the coracoid, having a markedly convex predorsal profile (vs. with a slight or distinct concavity in the supraethmoidal or supraoccipital region), and a unique combination of the following characters: prognathous lower jaw causing snout to appear rounded when viewed laterally; maxillary barbel reaching to base of pectoral-fin spine; eye diameter 13.7% HL; head width 13.0% SL; body depth at anus 14.2% SL; 65 anal-fin rays; caudal peduncle depth 5.0% SL; caudal-fin length 12.6% SL; caudal fin with rounded lobes; 54 vertebrae, and dark midlateral stripe running along sides of body (Ref. 93963).
