Dorsal soft rays (total): 30; Anal soft rays: 18; Vertebrae: 39. This species is distinguished by having the following characters: spots on the abdominal side; mental barbel very long: 25.2 (26.8) % SL or 61.6 (62.0) % of head length, with esca drastically flattened: its width thickness ratio 3 :1; its surface formed of dense rows of crumped folds that, on intergrowing, form peculiar 'honeycomb;; body with convexitas superaxillaris, very large spherical protrusions found immediately under the base of the pectoral fin which function not only domination but also of antifreeze secretion (Ref. 95070).
