Description. Body elongated and attenuated to the caudal peduncle; head small, 6.7–7.7 times in total length; snout blunt, 3.7–4.4 times into head; interorbital width about equal to horizontal diameter of orbit; long chin barbel present, strongly developed and 1.9–2.4 in head length; dorsal, pectoral and ventral fins with a single elongated ray, elongated second dorsal ray 1.8–2.4, elongated second pectoral ray 2.0–2.3 and elongated first pelvic ray 2.0– 2.2 in the head length.
