two or three preanal plates; a bony plate before each branchial opening; seven lateral plates between the pectoral and pelvic
fins; maxillary barbel short and attached to the oral disk by a fleshy fold; head dorsal surface and anterior portion of the body light or dark yellow with numerous, round black spots; posterior region of the body light or dark yellow with five black
