Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 15 - 16; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 10 - 11; Anale stekels: 5; Anale zachte stralen: 8 - 9. This species is diagnosed by having predorsal contour steep and flat, concave before eye, and prominent forehead, forming a nuchal hump in adult males. Dorsal and ventral contours are conic, straight to moderately convex, making intersection with caudal peduncle conspicuous. This is also distinguished using the following combination characters: distance from anal fin origin to hypural base (mean 36%, SD 1%); mouth slightly angled
downward; lower pharyngeal plate moderately stout and broad; 2 rows of 8-9 stout molars increasing in size posteriorly and molarization flank the midline, 4 most posterior molars flattened; and spiny dorsal fin rays V (Ref. 94458).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
This species is syntopic in the lower courses of the Rio el Salto with H. cf. carpintis, Astyanax mexicanus, Xiphohorus nezahualcoyotl, and Poecilia mexicana along with other species of fishes in higher reaches (Ref. 94458).
