Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 13 - 15; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 14 - 16; Anale stekels: 3; Anale zachte stralen: 10 - 11. Diagnosis: lower pharyngeal bone about as long as broad, and with anterior lamella shorter than toothed area; median pharyngeal teeth broadened when compared to the lateral teeth; 5-6 series of scales on cheeks; 4.5-6 scales between first dorsal fin spine and upper lateral line; dark vertical bars broader than lighter inter-spaces (Ref. 53405).
Occurs only in larger rivers with rocky substrates, not found in smaller creeks; not specialized, but prefers a herbivorous diet; pair-bonding, biparental open substratum spawner holding very large territories; might spawn throughout the year (Ref. 52307).

Estimates based on models
Fylogenetische diversiteitsindex (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01514 (0.00700 - 0.03275), b=2.97 (2.80 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trofisch niveau (Ref.
69278): 3.5 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Weerstandsvermogen (Ref.
