Espinhos dorsais (total): 3; Raios dorsais moles (total): 7; Espinhos anais 0; Raios anais moles: 11 - 12. Moderately sized species; snout rounded; lips give a distinctive horseshoe-shaped appearance to mouth in ventral view and with prominent lateral lobes; snout long (58.8-68.8%HL), 6-8 long teeth, each tooth curved distally upwards; maxillary barbel with a distinct marginal membrane at base and with well-developed thin tuberculate branches on anterior side; adipose fin well developed and separated from dorsal fin by a distance measuring 16.4-22.3%SL (Ref. 39831). Overall coloration of adult fish light brown with a white belly, caudal fin brownish, young fish brownish with irregular, broad white dendritic streaks on the flanks (Ref. 39831).
