Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Lebiasina ardilai is distinguished from all lebiasinins by its color pattern consisting of a narrow, nearly straight primary stripe, extending from posterior to humeral blotch to near the vertical through anal-fin origin, being nearly absent in females and conspicuously marked in males; the presence of four series of dark markings at the base of the scales of longitudinal series 2–5; the faint secondary stripe running onto scales of second and third longitudinal row of scales; and the posteriorly displaced caudal blotch, not reaching the posterior tip of caudal peduncle. The new species also differs from its Guyana Shield relatives L. taphorni Ardila-Rodríguez, L. unitaeniata (Günther), L. uruyensis Fernandez-Yépez, Lebiasina yepezi Netto-Ferreira et al. and L. yuruaniensis Ardila-Rodríguez by the lack of the intermediate stripe (Ref. 93551).

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=0.00603 (0.00234 - 0.01555), b=3.09 (2.87 - 3.31), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.6   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
