This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following characters: inner laminar expansion of infraorbital 1 ranging from moderately to well developed; with a narrow frontal bone, its width slightly smaller than half of entire length; presence of parapophysis of the complex vertebra moderately developed; with a dark brown or black stripe from anteroventral portion of orbit to upper lip lateral area generally present and more evident, and flanks generally with more numerous and/or evident dark brown or black markings, not considering the number of blotches in the series along flank midline; dorsal fin generally with small dark brown or black small spots and markings on ventrolateral body plates generally numerous and evident (Ref. 129024). |
