Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 14.4 cm SL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 52436)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 25 - 27; Raios dorsais (total) : 72 - 85; Espinhos anais: 3; Raios anais : 66 - 79; Vértebras: 86 - 88. Diagnosis: head length 14.2-14.9% SL (mean 14.6%), decreasing with size (Ref. 81678). Origin of first dorsal spine situated behind posterior edge of pectoral fin, 2.5-9.9% SL (mean 5.3%)(Ref. 52436, 81678). Body depth 6.7% SL; distance from tip of snout to last externally visible dorsal spine 50.5-51.6% SL (mean 51.2%), decreasing with size (Ref. 81678). Origin of soft dorsal fin clearly anterior to origin of soft anal fin (Ref. 52436, 81678). Lower jaw length 21.3-26.9% HL (mean 23.9%), increasing with size; distance from gill opening to dorsal pectoral fin base 4.3-9.6% HL (Ref. 81678). 24+1 to 26+1 (median 25+1) dorsal spines; no preorbital spines; no preopercular spines (Ref. 52436, 81678). Color pattern characterized by a series of mediodorsally situated dark brown to black spots on body, tail and proximal parts of dorsal and anal fins (Ref. 52436).
Occurs in streams (Ref. 52436). Maximum reported total length 151 mm (Ref. 81678).
