Diagnosis

Distinguished from most of its congeners, except Ituglanis macunaima and Ituglanis parahybae, by having a pectoral fin ray count of I,4. Differs also from all its congeners, excluding Ituglanis parahybae, by the coloration pattern with longitudinal rows of coalescing blotches. Can be differentiated from Ituglanis parahybae by the supraorbital laterosensory canal branch with pores s3 and s6 present.

Description: Dorsal fin ii,7; Anal fin ii,5-6; Pectoral fin i,4; Pelvic fin i,3 (Ref. 57703).
