🐟 Physical Description
Dorsal spines (total): 2; Dorsal soft rays (total): 7; Vertebrae: 41. Differs from all other species of the genus, except Pimelodus jivaro, Pimelodus joannis, Pimelodus ornatus, Pimelodus pictus, and Pimelodus stewarti, by the possession of a dorsal median crest along supraoccipital process; and shorter distance between the posterior nostril and the anterior orbital border (posterior nostril closer to anterior orbital border).
