Etymology: Tetragonopterus: Greek, tetra = four + Greek, gonia = angle + Greek, pteron = wing, fin (Ref. 45335); carvalhoi: Named for Marcelo Rodrigues de Carvalho (USP), the leader of the expedition to rio Jari which resulted in the collection of this new species and in recognition of his contributions to our knowledge of the Neotropical ichthyology.

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal
soft rays
(total): 11;
Anal
soft rays: 33 - 38;
Vertebrae: 28. Distinguished from other congeners by having lozenge-shaped spot on the caudal peduncle (vs. rounded to square spot on the other species). Can be further separated from Tetragonopterus argenteus by having 6-10 predorsal scales (vs. 12-16); and from Tetragonopterus rarus by the the absence of dark longitudinal stripes on the lateral surface of the body (vs. presence) (Ref. 86682).

Estimates of some properties based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 0.5020 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.02188 (0.00829 - 0.05773), b=2.99 (2.76 - 3.22), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.4 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 69278): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months ().
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100) .
