Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 1; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 7; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 16 - 18; Vértebra: 50 - 52. Four patches of conical teeth across front of palate; rounded vomerine patches well-separated; outer patches oval or crescentic, 2-3 times larger than inner patches. Snout fleshy, overhanging mouth. Low papillae on palate and posterior face of gill arches; rakers rarely on posterior face of first two gill arches. Barbels thick proximally, thin distally. Head shield very granular, extensive posteriorly; triangular supraoccipital process short, broad. Eye small, dorsolateral. 8-12% HL. Adipose fin large, base longer than anal fin base. Dark grey in color; inner, dorsal aspect of paired fins charcoal blue (Ref. 40908).
