Short description
Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total): 13 - 14; Radios blandos dorsales (total): 7-8; Espinas anales 17-19; Radios blandos anales: 13 - 14; Vértebra: 29 - 30. Differs from its congeners by the following combination of characters: caudal fin forked; conspicuous dark brown opercular spot; distal part of first soft pelvic-fin ray white; posterior tip or margin of scales on body conspicuously darker than scales, not darker than scales on head and predorsal back; dark spots on top of head; predorsal back with 3-5 dark brown saddle-like blotches; spots and bars on dorsal and caudal-fin membranes grey in preserved and red in live specimens (Ref. 42924).
Obligate air-breathing (Ref. 126274); Found in the mountainous regions as well as lowland habitats (Ref. 42924).
