Material examined. Table 1; Figure 4e.

This species can be distinguished from congeners that occur in this region by a combination of features: smooth pectoral-fin spine, 68–78 dorsal-fin rays, 58–64 anal-fin rays, moderately broad supraoccipital process, and a distinct color pattern of white spots on the sides of the body. This species is common in forested, more pristine habitats than the sympatric C. batrachus , which is usu- ally common in more open, disturbed habitats ( Ambak et al. 2010).
