Épines dorsales (Total) : 0; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 15 - 17; Épines anales: 0; Rayons mous anaux: 15 - 17. Deep bodied Nothobranchius (Ref. 53530). The snout is rounded (Ref. 53530). The mouth is terminal, directed upward (Ref. 53530). Ctenii are absent on the rays of the dorsal and anal fins (Ref. 53530).

Most scales have a shallow pit in the centre, not connected with an underlying neuromast system (Ref. 53530); there are no ctenii on the body scales (Ref. 53530).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
Inhabits ephemeral pools with turbid water (Ref. 53530).
