Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 11; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 8 - 9; Vértebra: 30 - 31. Diagnosis: This species is readily distinguished from all congeners by the presence of a flexible, weakly ossified, and smooth-bordered last unbranched dorsal-fin ray, well-developed barbels, and a straight and complete lateral line in combination with a characteristic pigmentation patterning consisting of a distinctive, rounded black spot at the base of and extending over the first rays of the anal fin and a prominent, darkly pigmented blotch over the base of the anterior dorsal-fin rays (Ref. 119360).
Found in small, forested streams where water levels remain low throughout most of the rainy season (Ref. 119360). It feeds principally on detritus and organic debris; guts contain detritus, sand grains, some chironomid larval head cases and other fragmented, unidentifiable insect remains (Ref. 119360).
