| Diagnosis |
This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: presence of plicae present on the ventral surface of the pectoral-fin spine and on the first pelvic-fin ray; dorsal fin located nearer to the tip of snout than to adipose fin origin; barbels slender, a nasal barbel reaching anterior margin of the orbit, maxillary barbel extending slightly beyond pectoral-fin base; anterior nuchal plate element visible as a saddle with arrow-shaped extensions when viewed dorsally; thoracic adhesive apparatus longer than broad with a conical-shaped median depression opening caudally; and three stripes on the body (Ref. 137786). |
