Dorsal
soft rays
(total): 10;
Anal
soft rays: 8;
Vertebrae: 43. Can be distinguished by the following characters: barbels short; two black spots on caudal peduncle; a black stripe from operculum through eye to the rostral barbel insertion; dorsal fin situated on caudal half of the body; males with second pectoral fin ray thickened and elongated, length of the second pectoral fin ray 3.3-4.6 times of SL; a semicircular Lamina circularis on the third pectoral fin ray and not located at its base in males; suborbital spine relatively thick and short with strong and medio-lateral process (Ref. 76824).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00550 (0.00252 - 0.01200), b=3.04 (2.86 - 3.22), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.4 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (16 of 100) .
