Height of body 4 and length of head 4J in the total length. 

 Like U. Russellii and Dussumieri, but with a shorter barbel on the 

 chin and a different fin formula. The snout is round and projecting. 

 The barbel is very short not 1/3 of the diameter of the eye, with a 

 pore at its base and ai'ound it four others ; there are also several 

 pores on the snout ; prajoperculum rounded without hard teeth. 

 Teeth villiform in rows, some a little larger on the outer row of 

 maxillaries ; 2nd and 3rd dorsal rays nearly equal, flexible ; 2nd 

 anal ray much larger than the 1st. The maxillary reaches to 

 behind the middle of the eye ; the posterior rays of the dorsal a 

 little shorter than the others, and still shorter than those of the 

 anal. The caudal fin is obtusely rhombic. Colour above, dark, on 

 the ventral side silvery ; on the ventral side of the head, and snout 

 and cheeks this colour is sharply circumscribed so that only the 

 lower margin of the praeorbital is silvery. All the fins are dark, 

 the dorsal especially, the membranes densely speckled. 20 Ctm.
