Madurez: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 50.0 cm TL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 1371)
Espinas dorsales (total) : 2; Espinas anales: 0. Snout prominent, pointed; chin with very short barbel. Scales highly deciduous; ventral and leading surfaces of the snout naked; suborbital region dorsally mostly naked; suborbital ridge scales small if present; head ridges without enlarged scute-like scales. Overall color is gray brown to dark brown; oral cavity pale to grayish.
