Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 24; Anal soft rays: 39; Vertebrae: 67. Two terminal bulbs separated by a long interspace, 1.9-2.4 times the length of distal bulb. Barbel length mostly 52-59% SL. Three long filaments, arising together from distal end of distal bulb or from a short stem; with numerous very small bulblets along most of their length. Distal bulb 1.5-1.8 times length of proximal-bulb. Barbel pigment variable, but a prominent dark spot or cap formed at the base of distal bulb. Middorsal paired spots between occiput and dorsal-fin origin 9 (Ref. 11333).
