| − | + | |identification=:An elongate rounded catfish with long [[barbels]] and a flattened depressed head with small eyes. The colour pattern is basically a dark brown to black overall with a white to cream colour collar around the nape. A single hint of cream coloured marking is also present on the body just above the lateral line and below the dorsal-fin. There is a a light coloured band (which may be incomplete) just fore of the caudal peduncle and a pair of light markings on the caudal peduncle. There is a light marking at the base of the adipose and the tip of the adipose is clear. | |
