Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
This species can be distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: short mesethmoid; very reduced posterior laminar expansion of infraorbital 2, not in contact with compound pterotic; 2-3 longitudinal black stripes on flanks; no oblique or vertical black blotch across the eye; anterior portion of dorsal fin with sparse black chromatophores, not forming any conspicuous pattern; and ventral surface of trunk naked or covered by sparse platelets (Ref. 128862).
Found in small clear water stream (2-3 m wide and 0.5-2 m depth), with preserved riparian vegetation, swift water current, and bottom composed mainly of sand and dead leaves (Ref. 128862).
