is distinguished from all other species of the genus by its unique colour pattern made of 4 black bars in juveniles that evolve into 8 bars, more or less fused on the flank and the back to leave only 2 series of pale yellowish spots in the predorsal area and 4 narrow transverse bands in subdorsal and postdorsal areas. Although not unique, the following characters help to identify the species: incomplete lateral line, reaching at most to above pelvic-fin base; two vertically elongated blotches on proximal extremity of all rays of caudal fin (one blotch per lobe); no observed sexual dimorphism; 8½ branched dorsal rays.

has a colour pattern made of 4 black bars in juveniles that evolve into 8 bars, more or less fused on the flank and the back to leave only 2 series of pale yellowish spots in the predorsal area and 4 narrow transverse bands in subdorsal and postdorsal areas. This colour pattern, and its ontogeny, has not been reported for any named species of nemacheilid in Southeast and South Asia.
