Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie
Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 10 - 11; Rayons mous anaux: 10 - 11. Differs from all of its congeners by having a distinctive flattened and concave inter- and postorbital skull roof and thickened lips, with a terminal mouth opening. Lips are protruding by a stronger development of the underlying cutis connective tissue in the lip region (Ref. 55026).
Carnivorous, feeding on snails (Pyrgophorus coronatus), ostracodes and bivalves (Ref. 55026).
