Eye small and positioned dorsolaterally. Skin covering eye dense and pale. Anterior nostril located terminally at tip of snout, associated with fleshy tube projecting beyond upper lip. Posterior nostril without flap, opening anteriorly and near eye. Mouth subterminal, upper lip more prominent than lower lip. All barbels simple, unbranched; maxillary barbel just reaching branchial aperture; posterolateral mental barbel about twice as long as anteromedial mental barbel. Opercular opening reduced to small valvular slit located ventrally, anteromedially positioned to pectoral-spine insertion. Axial slit pore present, dorsoventrally inclined underneath posterior cleithral process. Adult males with digitiform testes. Integument covered with large unculiferous tubercles scattered throughout head and body, larger on dorsal and lateral portions. Tubercles forming series of larger and horizontally aligned rows on posterior portion of body with three well-defined rows on lateral of body, one at lateral line others just above and below.</paragraph>

). Seven of these specimens (six female and one male) contained masses of ova or developing embryos in their stomach. The source of the eggs and embryos is most likely those of loricariid catfishes, and in least in one instance, the caudal fin-ray counts of the embryos fall within the range for loricariid catfishes. One male contained a single scoloplacid catfish specimen in its stomach, and the remaining
