Short description
Morfologia | Morfometria
Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 24; Raggi anali molli: 38; Vertebre: 69. Two terminal bulbs separated by an interspace (1-1.9 times length of distal bulb). Barbel very long, 95-152% SL in large specimens over 8 cm, 78% at 7 cm. Terminal filament long, up to 25% SL with 1-3 (usually 2) short branches near the base, these branches with tiny bulblets but without swollen tips. Distal bulb 1-1.7 times length of proximal bulb. Axis of stem and external chevron-shaped or roundish striated markings light to moderately pigmented. Middorsal paired spots between occiput and dorsal-fin origin 8 or 9 (Ref. 11333).
