SL. Body broadest anteriorly, greatest body width just posterior to opercles, then narrowing progressively to end of caudal peduncle. Head and body depressed, greatest body depth just anterior to dorsal-fin origin. Caudal peduncle deep, compressed posteriorly. Dorsal profile of head ascending at about a 45 degree angle to above eye, then ascending in shallow convex arc to dorsal-fin origin; from there descending straight or in slightly concave arc to caudal fin. Ventral profile flat from tip of snout to pelvic-fin insertions, from there, in concave arc to base of caudal fin; abdomen slightly concave or convex depending on fullness of intestines.

Fins dark with large light, irregular, and sometimes horizontally elongate spots, that are centered on fin rays, especially noticeable on caudal fin with some spots combining across rows to make wavy lines as noted by Eigenmann. Spines of the dorsal, adipose, caudal, pelvic and pectoral fins with four to six alternating dark and light sections, mirrored on the branched rays, with dark and lighter areas also extending onto membranes.

Based on photographs from Mr. Shane Linder on PlanetCatfish.com of specimens said to be from Tuy River drainage. Base color black and gray on dorsum, and all fins. Body mostly gray with rows of darker gray to black spots forming horizontal rows to upper sides and dorsum. Fins two-toned, gray and black. Dorsal fin edged in gray, with two to three rows of alternating black and gray spots, not really aligning to form lines; adipose spine gray with black spot; caudal fin with dark background and light gray spots, some aligning to form vertical rows and some combining across rows. Top of head and most barbels black. Ventrum of head and body light gray.
