Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 12; Raggi anali molli: 19; Vertebre: 36. This species is similar to M. heterostigma and M. ortegai / M.quiii by the presence of oblique rows of red brown dots on the sides of body in males (vs. absence) and it differs from these species by having a short pectoral fin in males, reaching pelvic fin origin (vs. long pectoral fin, reaching up to seventh anal fin ray); differs from its congeners by the following set of characters - greater numbers of scales in the lateral 40-42 (vs. 32-39), transverse scale series 11-12 (vs. 8-10), circumpeduncular series 22 (vs. 14-20) and, in males, the anal fin with large areas dark yellow and broad orange margin on ventral and posterior portions of caudal fin (vs. brown) (Ref. 130493).
The type series were collected from an ephemeral pool measuring approximately 15 m long, 5 m wide, and 0.3 to 0.9 m deep, with dense aquatic vegetation, brown, turbid water with the following characteristics (measured on late morning): total dissolved solids: 112 ppm, pH 7.1-7.3, german hardness 5-9 dGH, temperature at the surface: 29.1°C. Another fish was present, Pterolebias longipinnis (Ref. 130493).
