Short description

Dorsal spines (total): 1; Dorsal soft rays (total): 6; Anal soft rays: 13 - 15; Vertebrae: 40. Can be differentiated from all other Indochinese congeners (except for Amblyceps variegatum) in possessing posterior edge of adipose fin pointed; length of adipose fin base 25.6-33.5% SL; dorsal to adipose distance 12.1-21.6% SL; depth of caudal peduncle 13.2-15.9% SL; body depth at anus 12.8-15.1% SL; eyes small, dorsolaterally situated and subcutaneous, diameter 5.1-8% HL; vertebrae 20; and forked caudal fin. The species differs from A. variegatum in having a uniform brown body (versus body with mottled pattern of small irregular dark brownish-grey patches); longer adipose-fin base (versus 19.9-22.8) and a shorter dorsal to adipose distance (versus 23.8-26.7) and from A. foratum in having a deeper caudal peduncle (versus 10.1-13.5) (Ref. 37785). Caudal fin lobes somewhat rounded posteriorly, with the upper lobe longer than lower. Mouth and gape terminal with lower jaw slightly longer than upper and weakly projecting forwards; lips fleshy and slightly fimbriated, with well-developed rictal fold below anterior border of eye, consisting of large and membranous upper lobe joined at corner of mouth with lower lobe (Ref. 37785).

Inhabits streams with moderate to swift current, among stones and gravel (Ref. 37785).
