Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 9 - 11; Radios blandos anales: 21 - 27; Vértebra: 32 - 33. Astyanax bacalarensis is distinguished from its congeners in the Yucatan by the following characters: anal fin origin never overlapping last dorsal-fin ray (always overlapping in A. altior); head length 28% SL or less (27% or more in A. altior); predorsal length, mean 50.4% SL (mean 53% or more in A. altior and A. angustifrons); mean distance between origins of pelvic and anal fins, 20.5% SL (vs. mean 19.3% or less); humeral spot rectangular-triangular to oval (P-shaped to indistinct in A. belizianus and A. brevimanus) (Ref. 118583).
