It is a rare species of the Great Basin of western North America, where it is endemic to isolated warm springs in the White River drainage of eastern Nevada. Each side has two rows of dark blotches. The pelvic fins are entirely absent, while the anal fin is large, with 14 rays. The dorsal fin is set far back on the body, just above the anal fin, and is somewhat smaller than the anal fin, with 11 rays.
