Pectoral fin I,5(27), triangular, adpressed tip not reaching base of pelvic fin. Anterior margin of pectoral spine with 7-9 retrorse serrations proximally followed by 2-10 antrorse serrations distally. Posterior margin of pectoral spine with 8(3), 9(11), or 10(10) strong retrorse serrations along entire length, larger than those along anterior margin (

). Posterior cleithral process slender and pointed posteriorly. Pelvic fin rounded with i,5(27) rays, adpressed tip not reaching anal-fin origin. Origin of pelvic fin vertically aligned with insertion of last dorsal-fin ray. Anal fin iii,6(2), iii,7*(21), iii,8(4), short and rounded, its base shorter than that of adipose fin and not confluent posteriorly with caudal fin; proximal radials 10(1), 11(2); distal radials 10(1), 11(1).

Large continuous transverse yellowish tan bar across occipital region between opercular openings. Barbels pale with brown spots. Body with dark brown saddles separated by yellowish tan interspaces.
