Diagnosis

This species is mostly similar to Acanthobrama centisquama, by the possession of 76-89 total lateral line scales and a crenulated posterior margin of the flank scales. This differs from A. centisquama by having 14 1/2- 16 1/2 branched anal-fin rays (vs. 18 1/2- 21 1/2) and slender and short unbranched dorsal-fin ray (vs. massive and long). Last unbranched dorsal-fin ray length 62-75% of body depth at the origin of dorsal fin (vs. 85-104) and 18-22% SL (vs. 24-28) (Ref. 97573).
