Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 14.7 cm SL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 81251)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 1; Espinhos anais: 0. Diagnosis: mandibular barbels with numerous ramifications, branches rather long and not thickened; base of adipose fin at most 3.6 times distance between dorsal fin and base of adipose fin; head and body more or less spotted; interorbital distance at most 86.6% of snout length; maxillary barbels typically with a large, dark, basal membrane; 28-33 movable mandibular teeth; postocular length at least 60% of snout length; maxillary barbel 0.8-2.2 times HL; entire margin of opercle smooth; caudal fin without single dark patch at base of each fin lobe; dorsal spine prolonged by a short filament, without serrations along anterior edge (except a few distally), but strongly serrate along posterior edge; caudal fin spotted (Ref. 81251).
Oviparous (Ref. 205). Maximum total length reported 20.3 cm (Ref. 3202).

Estimates based on models
Índice de diversidade filogenética (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00933 (0.00303 - 0.02871), b=3.05 (2.80 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

Nível Trófico (Ref.
69278): 2.9 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliência (Ref.

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
