description
Description. Morphometric data are summarized in Table 1. Refer to Figures 2 B and 3 B for general body appearance and morphology of the oromandibular structures, respectively. Body elongate, cylindrical anteriorly and slightly compressed posteriorly, with greatest body depth anterior to dorsal-fin origin and least depth of caudal peduncle nearer to caudal-fin base than to posterior end of anal-fin base. Dorsal profile of body from tip of snout to dorsal-fin origin somewhat convex; slightly concave from there to origin of dorsal procurrent caudal-fin rays. Ventral profile of body from snout tip to anal-fin origin rounded; slightly concave from analfin origin to origin of ventral procurrent caudal-fin rays. Head relatively small, slightly depressed, longer than width and wider than height. Eye small, dorsolaterally located in middle of head, with a wide, slightly convex interorbital space. Snout rounded when viewed dorsally, obtuse when viewed laterally, with many tubercles on tip of snout and anterior part of lachrymal, irregularly arranged in tow rows (Fig. 4 B); tubercles tiny, short, conical with blunt tips. Side of snout with a shallow furrow extending from rostral barbel base
