Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 0; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 5; Vertebre: 53 - 71. Diagnosed from all its congeners by having four laterosensory pores on the head. Differs further from Typhlobelus ternetzi and T. macromycterus by the absence of eyes; and from T. macromycterus and T. guacamaya by the presence of the four branchiostegal rays (Ref. 56682).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5312 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.1 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

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