Additional features that distinguish C. kazumbei from congeners within its range include a distinctive pigmentation pattern with dark patches on the dorsal and pectoral fins, a dark band on the anal fin, and a caudal fin that is deeply forked with a slightly longer lower lobe vs. not deeply forked in C. lufirae, C. igamba and C. orthodontus, or forked with greatly elongated upper lobe in males of C. asymetricaudalis (Ref. 87986).Description: Moderately sized Chiloglanis species, maximum standard length less than 70 mm; body roughly cylindrical, depressed anteriorly and compressed posteriorly; predorsal profile gently convex; postdorsal body sloping gently ventrally; preanal profile horizontal; anus and urogenital opening located slightly behind vertical through origin of adipose fin; skin covered with rounded unculiferous tubercles; lateral line complete and midlateral along side of body (Ref. 87986). Head depressed and broad, snout margin rounded when viewed dorsally; gill opening restricted to lateral aspect of head from level of base of pectoral spine to level of middle of eye; gill membranes broadly united to, and attached across isthmus, supported by 6 or 7 branchiostegal rays; skin covering skull roof with numerous small, round unculiferous tubercles; occipital-nuchal shield large, slightly visible through skin dorsally; mouth inferior, lips form ventrally-directed oral disc; oral disc moderate in size, wider than long and covered by numerous papillae; posterior margin of oral disc with well-developed cleft present at midline; barbels in three pairs and well developed; maxillary barbel slender and unbranched, originating just anterior to widest point of oral disc and extending to middle of eye; short basal membrane present on maxillary barbel; mandibular barbels incorporated into lower lip and visible as trifurcate structures in cleared and stained specimens; medial mandibular barbels on each side of midline; primary barbel elongate and bordered by short auxiliary barbel on each side; lateral mandibular barbels just lateral to medial mandibular barbels, somewhat more pronounced than medial mandibular barbels; primary barbel elonget and bordered medially by single short auxiliary barbel (Ref. 87986). Premaxillae formed as block-like plates supporting 47-85 'S'-shaped, pointed primary teeth on ventral surface; 30-40 small secondary teeth on posterior surface of premaxillae; 16 needle-like tertiary teeth inserting above and behind secondary teeth towards roof of mouth and gathered at midline; dentary with well-formed tooth cup along anterior margin supporting one or two rows of 3-14 robust, 'S'-shaped teeth per row with pointed tips; when present, posterior row represents replacement teeth; mandibular teeth bunched at midline (Ref. 87986). Eyes smell and ovoid, horizontal axis slightly longer than vertical axis; approximately one half of orbital interspace; orbit without free margin; anterior nares slightly further apart than posterior nares; anterior nares tubular with short, raised rim; posterior nares with elevated flaps along anterior margin (Ref. 87986). Dorsal fin located at anterior third of body; dorsal fin with spinelet, spine and 5-6 rays; fin membrane not adnate with body; dorsal-fin spine long and straight; relatively smooth along anterior margin, but posterior margin with weakly developed serrations only visible in cleared and stained specimens; adipose fin moderate in size, base less than one quarter of standard length; margin gently convex and incised posteriorly; caudal fin forked; count i,7,8,i; procurrent caudal-fin rays symmetrical and extending only slightly anterior to fin base; anal-fin base located ventral to adipose-fin base; margin convex; anal-fin count iii,7-8; pelvic-fin origin at vertical between bases of adipose and dorsal fins; pelvic-fin margins convex, tip of adpressed fin just short of anal-fin origin; pelvic-fin count i,6; pectoral fin with slightly curved, stout spine; anterior margin smooth, but posterior margin with weakly developed serrations only visible in cleared and stained specimens; pectoral fin count I,7-8; cleithral processes moderate in length and pointed, but largely buried in skin; axillary pore present along ventral margin of cleithral process; often depigmented relative to surrounding skin surface (Ref. 87986).Colouration: In ethanol, in dorsal view, specimens appear dark brown, with two lighter bands on posterior half of body; first band lies midway between dorsal and adipose fins; second band lies at posterior end of adipose fin; head is uniformly dark brown; in lateral view, specimens appear dark brown with varying numbers of small irregular light patches; ventral surface cream coloured and peppered with dark melanophores from oral disc to caudal fin; oral disc, all barbels, anus and urogenital opening cream coloured; some specimens with midline cluster of melanophores just anterior to premaxillae; dorsal and pectoral spines and rays light brown; base of dorsal and pectoral-fin rays generally darker; fin membranes translucent with dark patch, broadest at spine and tapering towards inner rays; pelvic and anal fins translucent; anal fin bisected by dark band running across fin rays; adipose fin translucent with dark base; each lobe of caudal fin with dark crescent-shaped ventral patch continuous with very dark pigment at base of fin rays (Ref. 87986).
