Etymology: Corydoras: Greek, kory = helmet + greek, doras = skin (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Josef Treitl (1804–1895) was an Austrian bank and hospital director. He left a large sum of money to the Austrian Academy of Sciences, where Steindachner worked. This species is probably named after him, though Steindachner’s text does not enlighten. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02239 (0.00916 - 0.05471), b=3.03 (2.84 - 3.22), 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).
