Etymology: pilosa: Name from Latin pilosus meaning hairy, in reference to the unusual aspect of male head..

Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology

Freshwater; demersal; pH range: 6.5 - ?. Tropical; 24°C - ? (Ref. 90209)

Max length : 4.0 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 90209)

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 7; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 5. Can be distinguished from all congeners by its hispid appearance (vs. smooth to velvety in congeneric species) and its specific barcode sequences (JF292271, JF292272, JF292273). Differs from species belonging to the crassicauda group by a shorter head [mean = 23.74 ± 1.35% of SL vs 25.54 ± 1.41 < mean < 26.18 ± 1.34% of SL; (HSD, p-values < 0.0033)], and from other species of the longicauda group by a deeper body at dorsal-fin origin [mean = 11.92 ± 0.97% of SL vs 9.86 ± 0.79 < mean < 10.66 ± 0.87% of SL; (HSD, p-values < 0.0069)] (Ref. 90209).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

This species was encountered immediately upstream of a 30 m high waterfall and was collected downstream of the waterfall. The area of the river where this species was found was 10 m wide with shallow clear water and a bottom substrate consisting of gravel, pebbles, boulders, bed rock and sand mainly constituted of iron hydroxide (Ref. 90209).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5078   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00347 (0.00159 - 0.00757), b=3.14 (2.96 - 3.32), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.8   ±0.2 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
