Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Distinguished from its nearly identical species Lepidomedia copei by having shallower head, longer snout and fixed differences in several mitochondrial and nuclear genetic markers (Ref. 86798).
Inhabits sluggish pools and backwaters, usually over mud or sand, of creeks and small to medium rivers (Ref. 86798).
