Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

A relatively small species (largest known specimen 56.7 mm SL) of the genus Bryconamericus Eigenmann, 1907 (type-species: B. exodon Eigenmann, 1907). The new species is characterized by the following features: (1) body depth relatively low (3.49 – 4.16), (2) anal-fin with 19 – 21 branched rays, (3) 17 – 21 setiform gill-rakers, (4) 38 – 41 scales in a longitudinal row, (5) 4½ – 5/1/3 transversal scales, (6) 37 – 40 vertebrae (total), (7) two to three tri- to quincuspid maxillary teeth, and (8) premaxilla in the outer row with four to five (mostly five) tri- to quincuspid teeth which are implanted in a irregularly row (Ref. 84136).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.6   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
