This fish most closely resembles Rhinodoras boehlkei and can be differentiated from this by the following features: heavy pigmentation with many dark speckles or spots on ventral surfaces more elongated postcleithral process, depth 36.8-44.3%; larger adipose eyelid, horizontal diameter 11.4-14.2%; and midlateral plates 57-60 (Ref. 75166).Description: Dorsal fin I,6; Anal fin iii-iv,8-10; Pectoral fin I,7-8; Pelvic i6 (Ref. 75166).
