Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
This species is distinguished by the following set of characters: soft and flexible pre-anal fin-fold extending along the ventral body surface, from pectoral region to anus; anterior and posterior nostril openings are widely separated, anterior opening at the tip of short tube (Ref. 75046).
Found in a forest creek, apparently in the Ka Longo drainage (marks the border between Vietnam and China (known as Beilun He). It is a small stream in the foothills. The specimens were collected in a shallow bay (less than 40 cm deep), with slow water current and sandy bottom, adjacent to riffles (Ref. 75046).
