Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 11; Radios blandos anales: 21 - 22; Vértebra: 33. Differs from all other congeners from northeastern Brazilian drainages by having two vertically elongated humeral blotches, a conspicuous and broad dark midlateral stripe (at least on anterior half of body), body highest along vertical slightly behind midlength of pectoral fin, 31-34 lateral-line scales, and two or three teeth on premaxillary outer series. Other characters important to distinguish this species include: anal fin with 21-22 total rays and 18-19 branched rays; dorsal-fin rays ii,9; 3-6 scales on base of anterior anal-fin rays; one or two maxillary teeth; fins homogeneously darkened by chromatophores; absence of red pigmentation on body when alive (Ref. 81202).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
Found at altitude of 212 meters in clear water stream, running over rocky and sandy bottom, with very small pools, 20-70 cm deep (Ref. 81202). Stomach contents of two specimens include filamentous algae, fragments of arthropods and vascular plants, and organic debris (Ref. 81202).
