Short description Morfologi | Morfometri

This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: black markings on lower jaw that are continuous with two black downward curved bars on the anterior throat, ending with rounded bulging ends near edge of lower jaw resembling a distinct omega (?) pattern; opercle uniform brown with light dark brown mottling, operculum without lower distal margin black; black transverse bars on the dorsal and caudal fin interradial membranes; absence of a dark distal border on anal fin (Ref. 127779).

This species is currently recorded only from the remnant black water swamps in Johor, Malaysia. Maximum length based on type specimen, to be replaced with a better reference (Ref. 127779).
