Short description

Dorsal spines (total): 3; Dorsal soft rays (total): 6 - 8; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 6 - 8. Diagnosis: Lateral line scales (43)45-49(51); above lateral line (9.5)10-11(10.5); right pharyngeal teeth 5-6 (Ref. 55426). Description: Body relatively narrow, moderately laterally compressed body with rounded abdomen. Head relatively small, with length 20.54-25.28% in standard length; head depth about 1.6 times greater than caudal peduncle depth. Eyes are small and with inferior arched mouth, without a conspicuous horny blade on lower lip. Dorsal and anal fins similar in size, generally with 7 branched rays in dorsal and 7 or 8 in anal, both with slightly convex profile; origin of dorsal fin located above end of pelvic fins or slightly posterior to this; caudal fin with slightly rounded lobes. Scales numerous and of medium-size, with distinct and complete lateral line; small and numerous gill rakers, along entire gill arch; 6/5 or 6/6 smooth and knife-shaped pharyngeal teeth, in one row (Ref. 55426).

Occurs in middle and lower reaches of streams, with slow current and underwater vegetation (Ref. 59043). Found in coastal rivers and terminal segments of main rivers. Is threatened due to habitat destruction (Ref. 26100).
