Espinas dorsales (total) : 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 16 - 17; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 22 - 23. A moderate-sized Paramormyrops (Ref. 81635). Head rounded, blunt; snout is U-shaped from above (Ref. 81635). The species has a uniform dark brown colour overall, somewhat lighter on the underside (Ref. 81635).
