The species reaches 7.9 centimetres (3.1 in) SL.[2] It was described in 1945 by Agustín Fernández-Yépez, a Venezuelan ichthyologist, with its type locality listed as the Encantado River, a tributary of the Río Grande, which itself is a tributary of the Tuy River.[3]
Chaetostoma dupouii occasionally appears in the aquarium trade, where it is sometimes referred to as Dupou's rubbernose.[4]
