Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 1; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 7; Anale zachte stralen: 19 - 23. Distinguished from other freshwater ariids occurring in Mesoamerica by the following combination of characters: presence of accessory tooth patches on palate; premaxillary tooth band length 2.4-2.9 in its width; ; snout length 1.4-1.8 in postorbital length; lateral gill rakers on first gill arch 17-20 (mode 19); mesial gill rakers on first two gill arches well developed; accessory palatal patches with numerous pointed-conical teeth; premaxillary maxillary barbel not extending behind gill membrane; and dorsomedian fleshy groove on head absent (Ref. 75770).
Adults occur only in freshwater, preferring the main channel of medium to large rivers (Ref. 75770). Migratory behaviour is undetermined (Ref. 126106).
