Head broad and depressed; snout blunt; eye moderate; mouth narrow; barbels relatively short (Ref. 86935). Dorsal fin II,5-6; caudal fin slightly emarginate, with the lower lobe a little longer than the upper, the upper and lower lobes each with 7 or 8 branched rays; anal fin with 11-13 rays, the first 3-4 simple; pectoral fins with 7 branched rays (Ref. 86935). Premaxillary tooth patch narrow, less than 40% of mouth width, sub-rectangular; humeral process of cleithrum extending to between level of end of supraoccipital process and base of dorsal fin; branchiostegal rays 6-7 (Ref. 86935).Colouration: Preserved: generally yellowish brown with a series of about nine faint dark blotches along centre of flank and traces of additional series above and below (Ref. 86935).
