Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 0; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 0; Anale zachte stralen: 180 - 240. Color pattern composed of narrow pale bands (about 1/4 width of dark bands) on anterior half of body, approximately equally narrow dorsally and ventrally, and 5-8 partially divided, often H-shaped dark bands on posterior half of body (Ref. 49716).
Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Collected from the lower reaches of meandering upland (non-floodplain) streams, in undercut banks and submerged vegetation (Ref. 49730).
