characters: lacking distinct serrae on posterior edge of pectoral
spine; adipose fin with moderately long base, its length 13.4-16.7
%SL; eye diameter 7-10 %HL; length of nasal barbel 38-57 %HL; tip
of snout noticeably in front of apex of lower jaw; large anterior
and posterior nostrils present, closely situated together and separated
only by base of nasal barbel; caudal fin with 7+7-8 rays; branchiostegal
