Morphologie | Morphométrie
Rayons mous anaux: 115 - 134. Diagnosed by the following combination of characters: sixth infraorbital bone absent; 115-134 anal-fin rays; 11-13 pectoral-fin rays; head length 13.7-20.2% of LEA (length to the end of the anal fin); interocular width 26.1-34.5% of HL; caudal filament depth 1.8-6.8% of CFL (caudal filament length; extrascapular canal absent; fourth and fifth mandibular canal absent; 15-16 precaudal vertebrae; 2 transitional precaudal vertebrae; second basibranchial ossified; anterior-most branchiostegal ray absent; second and third mandibular canal present; supraorbital canal present; sixth infraorbital canal absent; 4-6 scales above the lateral line; 5-7 scales below the lateral line; dark oblique bands on the lateral surface of the body present; scales along the middorsal surface of the body present; caudal filament length, 21.2-37.7% of LEA; head depth at the eye, 44.0-62.8% HL; dorsal rami of intermittent branch of anterior lateral line nerve visible as two parallel lines; and pectoral-fin length 45.2-59.3% of HL (Ref. 93869).
Inhabits rainforest streams in shallow areas along the margins (0.6-0.9 m deep and 2.5-18.8 m width) with substrate composed of submerged root-tangle and rafts with leaf litter. Occurs syntopically with Hypopygus lepturus in the Rio Anapu (Ref. 93869).
