Barbel well developed, but much shorter than the eye. Interorbital space flat, much narrower than the large eye, the diameter of which equals the length of the snout. The scales are provided with a very strong median keel, terminating in a projecting spine, and with several short and low ridges, which converge towards the median keel or run nearly parallel to it. There are six scales in a transverse series between the first dorsal and the lateral line. PrEeoperculum with hind margin undulated and with limbs scaly. The second dorsal spine is armed with rather small and some~ what closely set barbs. The distance between the two dorsal fins equals the length of the base of the first.
