Diagnosis: 12 branched anal-fin rays; adipose fin confluent with the dorsal procurrent part of the caudal fin; jaws unequal with lower jaw weakly-projecting; pectoral spine smooth; adipose fin origin at vertical through anal fin origin;dorsal fin to adipose fin distance 29.2–30.2 %SL; adipose-fin base long, 28.1–33.2%SL; deeply forked caudal fin with poorly developed projections on the proximal lepidotrichia of the central caudal-fin rays (Ref. 112632).
Collected from among the stones, not the sandy portions, of the moderately flowing river (Ref. 112632).
