Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal soft rays (total): 11; Anal soft rays: 8. Diagnosed from all congeners from Java, Sumatra and Borneo by the unique combination of the following features: lateral line scales 31-32+2-3; absence of black blotch on end of the caudal peduncle; presence of subdistal crescentic mark on each scale (apex pointing backwards), overimposed with pigments on scale pockets, forming a reticulated pattern; 2 barbels, smaller than eye diameter; pectoral fin extending to ¾ distance to origin of pelvic fin; pelvic fin extending anus or slightly beyond; when folded backwards, dorsal-fin tip extending vertical through anus; and scale rows between lateral line and dorsal-fin origin 5½ (Ref. 75626).

50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00813 (0.00377 - 0.01751), b=3.05 (2.87 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
