basins of southern Brazil, except A. agostinhoi, A. multispinis, A. mullerae, A. taunayi and A. formoso, by possessing a maxillary barbel shorter and not free from its lower lip (vs. longer and free from lower lip); from the first 4 species, by the width of mandibulary teeth row 13.4-15.5% of HL (vs. 15.8-19.3%, 15.5-19.4%, 16.5-21.0% and 15.8-23.1%, respectively) and 32.9-37.9% of interorbital width (vs. 38.4-53.6%, 40.7-53.8%, 39.3-58.0% and 39.4-51.4%, respectively); from A. formoso by orbital diameter 11.9-15.3% of HL (vs. 8.3-8.7%), caudal peduncle depth 9.0-10.9% of SL (vs. 7.8-8.7%) and number of dentary teeth 40-68 (vs. 110) (Ref. 83296).
Facultative or obligate air-breathing (Ref. 126274)

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01318 (0.00580 - 0.02997), b=2.98 (2.80 - 3.16), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
