Distinguished from P. assimilis by Possessing a subterminal mouth (vs. Inferior); maxillary barbels shorter, 0.5-2.2 of SL % (vs. 5.5-9.3%); post-orbital head length 11.0-12.1% of SL (vs. 8.7-10.4%); and interorbital width 11.2-12.2% of SL (vs. 10.0-11.1%) . Description: Pectoral fin with one simple and 14 or 15 branched rays. Lateral line with 18,19 0r 20 scales on body, extending 1-3 scales on to caudal-fin base .
