Etymology: Lacantunia:Named for Rio Lacantún in Chiapas, the tributary river of Rio Usumacinta inhabited by the new catfish; enigmatica:From the Latin name 'enigmatica' = baffling or inexplicable, for the unexpected discovery, obscure relationships and origin.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / 深さの範囲 / distribution range 生態学
背面の脊椎 (合計) : 2; 背鰭 (合計) : 8 - 10; 肛門の骨: 0. This species is distinguished from all other siluriforms by the following uniquely derived and anatomically complex characteristics: fifth infraorbital bone relatively wide and thick-walled, boomerang-shaped and anteriorly convex, and remote from a markedly prominent sphenotic process; the lateral margin of skull thickened along frontal bone and adjacent parts of lateral ethmoid and sphenotic bones at origins of much enlarged adductor mandibulae and levator arcus palatini muscles, otherwise the skull roof medial to muscle origins severely constricted, flat, lacking crests and fossae; a pair of cone-shaped "pseudo-pharyngobranchial" bones at anterior tips of enlarged accessory cartilages medial to first and second epibranchials; a hypertrophied, axe-shaped uncinate process on third epibranchial; gas bladder with paired spherical, unencapsulated diverticulae protruding from anterodorsal wall (Ref. 54757). Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Inhabits deep river channels and pools with rocks and strong eddy currents. sometimes taken in stream mouths; collected in both high and low water seasons, and generally during the night. Food include fishes, crabs, prawns, and large and tough seeds (Ref. 54757).
