Closely resembles Pseudobagrus adiposalis and P. ussuriensis, but differs in having a large elliptical eye (19.8-24.4% HL), a short maxillary barbel not reaching the posterior margin of the eye, a lightly serrated posterior edge on the second dorsal spine, a caudal fin slightly emarginate with upper lobe slightly longer than lower lobe, frontal concave with a smooth surface, and supraoccipital process short (far from the first basal bone of the dorsal spine) (Ref. 56712). |
