Etymology: Akysis: Derived from Greek, a = without + Greek, kysthos = bladder (Ref. 45335); bilustris: The specific epithet is the Latin adjective bilustris, meaning "that lasts two lustra (i.e. ten years)", in reference to the fact that the specimens comprising the type series were collected in two expeditions exactly ten years apart (Ref. 87997).

Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Akysis bilustris is distinguished from congeners by a combination of the following characters: eye diameter 14.0–17.5% HL; serrae on posterior margin of pectoral spine 2–3 and longer than half width of spine, pectoral fin reaching to or overlapping pelvic-fin base (length 24.5–29.3% SL), adipose-fin base length 14.3–18.3% SL, body depth at anus 11.4–13.8% SL, caudal-peduncle length 19.6–23.4% SL; caudal-peduncle depth 6.7–9.2% SL; caudal fin emarginate, and vertebrae 30–31 (Ref. 87997).
