Diagnosis.—
A member of
Henicorhynchus
distinguished from other members of the genus (
Table 1
) by the following
combination of characters: mouth subterminal, weakly oblique to nearly horizontal (less than or equal to 208 to midline of body); maxillary barbels present; edge of rostral cap straight, without medial indent; longitudinal stripes on flanks in most specimens, particularly larger individuals;

share similar oromandibular morphology, specifically a subterminal, weakly oblique mouth, maxillary barbels, and a smooth rostral cap without a medial indent. Based on similarities in oromandibular structures and color patterns when comparing specimens of variable sizes, we recognize

as a junior synonym of
