Eponymy: The etymology is not explained by Bonaparte, and it may not be an eponym. However, Telestes was the name of the last king of ancient Corinth (748 BC) and of a poet of 5th-century Greece, so the name might refer to one of these. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Short description
Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri
Diagnosed from its congeners by having the following characters: caudal peduncle depth 1.6-1.9 times in its length; snout blunt; 50-55 + 2-3 scales along lateral line; anal fin with 7-8½ branched rays; and midlateral stripe weakly marked, almost each scale of side with a dark grey spot, often forming small stripes (Ref. 59043).
Occurs in streams, preferring cool and swift waters associated with springs (Ref. 59043). Inhabits clear waters of rivers and lakes where it forms small schools in the middle or upper layers of the water as well as close to the bottom. Frequents areas with aquatic plants. Field observations have shown that adults feed on zooplankton, small insects and larvae (Ref. 12266). Spawns in January-March (Ref. 59043). Threatened due to pollution, water abstraction and habitat destruction (Ref. 26100).
