Size / Peso / Age
Maturità: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 27.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 2801)
Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 10; Vertebre: 32. Lips with transverse plicae on inner surface; dorsal fin falciform; two small pairs of barbels present, generally hidden; eyes superolateral; a big dark brown spot found on the caudal peduncle and on the squamous caudal fin.
