Épines dorsales (Total) : 12 - 15; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 9 - 11; Épines anales: 3; Rayons mous anaux: 7 - 9. This species is distinguished from its congeners, except G. labiatus, by having a thick, extremely well developed lips, with the lower lip deeply notched medially; differs from labiatus by the presence of a dark band extending posteroventrally from the dorsal-fin origin (vs. absent), and by the dorsal, anal and caudal-fin color patterns, where fins are partially or completely covered with well-defined circular dots (vs. small longitudinal stripes) (Ref. 118066).
This species is found exclusively in stone bottom habitats, covered with all sizes of stones and rocks along the rio Quaraí and its tributaries (Ref. 118066).
