Max length : 25.3 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 93220)

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 2; Dorsal soft rays (total): 7; Anal soft rays: 5. Distinguished from all congeners, except Hypostomus carinatus (Steindachner, 1881), H. hoplonites Rapp Py-Daniel, 1988 and H. watwata Hancock, 1828, by having five to eight (mode seven) predorsal plates limiting the posterior border of the supraoccipital bone (vs. one to three plates). Can be diagnosed from Hypostomus carinatus, H. hoplonites, and H. watwata by having pale spots against darker ground color on body and fins (vs. dark spots against lighter ground color) (Ref. 93220).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Occurs in rivers with turbid water, rocky and sandy substrate, and various remnant riparian vegetation. Sympatric with Squaliforma cf. emarginata (Valenciennes, 1840), Hypostomus faveolus, Hypostomus cf. plecostomus (Linnaeus, 1758), H. pyrineusi (Miranda Ribeiro, 1920), and another putative undescribed species of Hypostomus (Ref. 93220).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00450 - 0.02327), b=3.04 (2.84 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-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 (21 of 100).
