Etymology: Geophagus: Greek, gea = the earth + Greek, phagein = to eat (Ref. 45335); diamantinensis: The name diamantinensis refers to the Chapada Diamantina, a high plateau with predominance of Caatinga vegetation in northeastern Brazil, where the species is endemic (Ref. 118113).

Morphologie | Morphométrie
Épines dorsales (Total): 14; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total): 10-12; Épines anales 3; Rayons mous anaux: 7 - 8; Vertèbres: 27 - 28. Diagnosis: Geophagus diamantinensis is distinguished from all other species of the Geophagus brasiliensis species group by having the urohyal bone with a gentle anterior constriction (vs. strong constriction); presence of a small dark brow mark just posterior to pectoral fin (vs. absence); presence of a horizontal dark brown band on snout (vs. absence); and head more slender, head depth 77-86 % HL (vs. 87-122); G. diamantinensis is distinguished from G. itapicuruensis by having XIV spines on the dorsal-fin (vs. XIII), and from G. obscurus by having subterminal mouth (vs. terminal) (Ref. 118113).
Stomach content revealed that G. diamantinensis is insectivorous and feeds mainly on autochthonous resources; the main stomach contents included the following insect orders: Diptera, Ephemeroptera, Coleoptera, Trichoptera and Odonata; in addition, a residual content of vegetal material was also found (Ref. 118113).
