Body covered with small unculiferous tubercles, more concentrated on head; lateral line complete; arising at level of orbit and sloping ventrally towards the caudal fin; urogenital papillae sexually dimorphic; males with an elongated and pointed papillae; shorter and separated from anus by shallow invagination in females (Ref. 116018). Head depressed; gill membranes broadly united; gill opening restricted; from near pectoral-fin origin to level of orbit; occipital-nuchal shield covered and visible through skin; eyes moderate; located in posterior half of head; horizontal axis longer; orbit without free margins; anterior and posterior nares mid-snout length; equidistant; posterior nares with elongated anterior and medial flaps (Ref. 116018). Mouth inferior; upper and lower lips united to form oral disc; oral disc moderate in size, width 20.3-22.5% of standard length; slightly wider than long; covered in papillae (Ref. 116018). Barbels in three pairs; maxillary barbel originating from posterolateral region of disc; unbranched and moderate in length, 12.5-22.5% of head length; lateral and medial mandibular barbels moderate; incorporated into lower lip and positioned on both sides of midline cleft on posterior margin of oral disc; lateral barbels, 3.6-10.8% of head length, usually twice the length of medial barbels (Ref. 116018). Primary premaxillary teeth "S"-shaped with exposed brown tips; 56-141 teeth in 3-5 rows on two ovoid tooth pads; secondary premaxillary teeth fewer; scattered on posterior surface of premaxillae; tertiary premaxillary teeth short and needle-like; bunched near midline of dorsal edge of toothplate; mandibular teeth in 1-2 rows; "S"-shaped and bunched near midline; functional, anterior, row usually contains 12 brown-tipped teeth (Ref. 116018). Dorsal-fin origin just posterior to anterior third of body; dorsal fin with small spinelet, spine, and 5-6 rays; dorsal spine relatively short, 11.2-13.2% of standard length; posterior margin of spine smooth; anterior margin with small notches distally; adipose fin moderate in length, 12.3-18.5% of standard length; margin convex with small notch at terminus; caudal fin forked with rounded lobes; lower lobe longer than upper lobe; count i,7,8,i; anal-fin origin posterior to adipose-fin origin; margin convex; count iii,6; pelvic-fin origin at vertical between dorsal and adipose fin; extending to anal-fin origin; margins convex; count i,6; pectoral fin with smooth spine; relatively short, 15.5-18.1% of standard length; count I,8-9 (Ref. 116018). Postcleithral process sexually dimorphic; elongate and spatulate in males; shorter and bluntly pointed in females; body size sexually dimorphic; females attaining a larger body size (Ref. 116018).Colouration: In dorsal view, body medium brown; mottling of light brown to cream, patches of light brown at origin of dorsal fin and origin and terminus of adipose fin; head medium brown; mottling of light brown and small light unculiferous tubercles; in lateral view, body a cream ground colour with areas of medium brown; melanophores visible over lighter areas, light areas at origin and terminus of adipose fin, extending ventrally to origin and terminus of anal fin; in ventral view, body cream; few melanophores near origin of pelvic fin; oral disc and barbels cream (Ref. 116018). Pectoral and dorsal spine and rays cream to translucent; few melanophores near base of dorsal and pectoral fins; faint bars at mid-length; pelvic fins cream; adipose fin cream to translucent; few melanophores near base; anal fin cream to translucent; few melanophores near base and at mid-length; caudal fin cream to translucent; two areas of dark brown at mid-length of upper and lower lobes (Ref. 116018).
