Short description Morfologia | Morfometria

Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 9; Raggi anali molli: 25 - 26; Vertebre: 30. This species is distinguished from all its congeners by the number of maxillary teeth 7-8 (vs. 1-6) and the dark, vertically-oriented patch of dark pigmentation limited to the posterior portion of the caudal peduncle (vs. mark centered on the caudal peduncle); differs from T. anostomus, T. denticulatus, T. kuluene by the principal teeth on dentary 4 (vs. 5-6) and by having more robust dentary teeth (vs. thinner and sharper teeth); differs from T. anostomus by having a terminal mouth (vs. subsuperior mouth) and by having two conspicuous humeral marks (vs. only one humeral mark); differs from T. anostomus, T. araguaiensis by the number of gill rakers on the of the first gill arch lower (13-15) and upper (8-9) limbs (vs. 17-20 and 10-12, respectively); differs from T. argenteus by the predorsal scales 8 (vs. 11-17); differs from T. carvalhoi by having a rounded dark mark on the caudal peduncle (vs. a lozenge-shaped dark mark); differs from T. rarus, T. georgiae by the scale rows between lateral line and pelvic-fin origin 3.5 (vs. 4.5-5.5); differs from T. rarus by the absence of dark longitudinal stripes on the trunk (vs. presence of stripes) (Ref. 124043).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = No PD50 data   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02188 (0.00852 - 0.05619), b=3.00 (2.78 - 3.22), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.1   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref. 120179):  Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
