Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 10; Anal soft rays: 8. Body with four black bars on a bright yellow (in life) background, usually forming saddles along dorsal midline, and with a rounded yellow blotch on mid dorsal line in each saddle; body slender, its depth at dorsal fin origin 11-16% SL; no sexual dimorphism; black caudal basal bar absent; pelvic fin origin in front of vertical through dorsal fin origin (Ref. 51709).

Found in shallow, torrential hill streams, 0.3-1.0 m deep with gravel bottom and rocky crevices, in mixed deciduous forests, at 950-1120 m altitude (Ref. 51709).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00692 (0.00311 - 0.01538), b=3.02 (2.85 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.0 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
