Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal soft rays (total): 10 - 11; Anal soft rays: 49 - 53. Fewer lateral line scales (58-59, versus 64-70 in G. maracaiboensis and 68-75 in G. atratoensis), fewer scale rows between lateral line and anal-fin origin (9-11, versus 12-14 in G. maracaiboensis and 13-16 in G. atratoensis) and fewer scale rows around caudal peduncle (19, versus 21-23 in G. maracaiboensis and 21-23 in G. atratoensis).
