Short description
Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal
soft rays
(total): 5;
Anal
soft rays: 3 - 4. This species is distinguished from Pseudexostoma brachysoma and P. longipterus by the following characters: posterior margin of lower lip with 3 notches, depth of middle one the same as lateral ones lateral ones (vs. shallower), length of 2 smaller median lobes of lower lip the same length as lateral lobes (vs. longer); pelvic fin I, 1-5 (vs. I, 3-4); base iof adipose fin shorter, 28.8-39.8% SL (vs. 36.1-46.0); caudal peduncle deeper, depth 6.4-8.3% SL, 32.6-42.7% in length of caudal peduncle (vs. 4.2-6.9 in depth and 20-33.7 in length); premaxillary tooth band with 18-22 teeth (vs. 16-18), it is divided into 2 and are connected partially (vs. isolated) (Ref. 57980).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00589 (0.00260 - 0.01333), b=3.08 (2.88 - 3.28), 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.
120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
