Eastern Indian Ocean: Endemic to Australia.
Size / Vikt / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 14.5 cm SL hane/ej könsbestämd; (Ref. 11333)
Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 23; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 34. Two terminal bulbs separated by an interspace, 1.9 times the length of distal bulb. Barbel length short 45% SL. Filaments short, 16, arising not only from its sides and from the stem proximal to it. Many filaments branched, apparently all with prominent bulblets. Distal bulb ovoid in shape, less than 1.5 times as long as wide, 1.2 times proximal bulb length (Ref. 11333).
