Etymology: Trichomycterus: Greek, thrix = hair + Greek, mykter, -eros = nose (Ref. 45335); caudofasciatus: Derived from the Latin cauda (tail) and fasciatus (with bars), referring to the caudal-fin color pattern.

Breve descrizione
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 10 - 11; Raggi anali molli: 9; Vertebre: 35 - 37. Distinguishable from all other species of the genus by the combination of the following characters: 7-8 pectoral-fin rays, long filamentous first pectoral-fin ray (about 50-70% pectoral-fin length), 10-20 opercular odontodes, 30-52 interopercular odontodes, opercular patch of odontodes wide, and 6-7 branchiostegal rays. Can be easily distinguished from T. alternatus, T. longibarbatus and T. pantherinus by possessing a single median last supraorbital pore (vs. paired pore). Distinguished from all other species of the genus from the Brazilian Shield River basins by having a unique color pattern of four gray bars on the caudal fin (Ref. 53352).
Inhabits both turbid and clear water with shallow water (40-100 cm deep). Sometimes found swimming in daylight, but mostly collected under marginal vegetation or under vegetal debris on the bottom (Ref. 53352).
