Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 7; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 9; Espinas anales: 1; Radios blandos anales: 6. This species is distinguished by the following characters: D VII + 9; pectoral fins 15-16; gill rakers 7-9 + 20-22 = 28-31; adult measurements in % SL: body depth at first dorsal-fin origin 23-25, at anus 20-22; caudal-peduncle depth 8.8-9.9; maximum head depth 19-21; head depth through eye 15-17; interorbital length 7.2-8.6; head length 28-31; snout length 9.9-12; postorbital length 11-14; orbit length 5.6-7.2; upper jaw length 9.6-12; barbel length 18-23; caudal-peduncle length 21-25; caudal-fin length 27-29; anal-fin height 12-15; pelvic-fin length 19-21; pectoral-fin length 18-20; first dorsal-fin height 16-20; second dorsal-fin height 12-15. Colour of body and head are dark brown grey dorsally, a weak mid-lateral body stripe of same colour; 4-7 dark brown-grey narrow bars on upper lobe of caudal fin, interrupted by pale interspaces of similar width as bars while the lower caudal-fin lobe is almost entirely brown-grey pigmented, except for the distal-most ray forming a pale ventral margin; barbels are pale grey; preserved fish with dark dorsal, upper caudal-lobe bars and lower-caudal lobe pigmentation retained (Ref. 116177).
All specimens were collected from a fish market, hence no natural habitat information is available (Ref. 116177).
