Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 30; Radios blandos anales: 17; Vértebra: 38. This species belongs to the 'marmorata' group of the genus Pogonophryne is distinguished by the following characters: spotted thorax and belly; unusual caudal fin colouration with central area divided into 2 parts by light transverse streak, upper proximal and smaller distal parts, and upper edge and tips of rays at the bottom of caudal fin light; esca bearing no cylinder like folds in the form of cerebral surface, well-developed post temporal ridges, mental barbel equals 25.5% of HL, length of esca 48.3% TL of the length of barbel (Ref. 96821).
The female specimen collected has eggs in the ovaries which have reached 1.2 mm in diameter (Ref. 96821).
