Short description
Morfologia | Morfometria
Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 7; Raggi anali molli: 5. This species can be distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: abdomen completely covered with small to medium-sized, irregularly shaped plates; area in front of gill opening without plates, ventrally; head with straight sides; and head and caudal peduncle narrower. Colouration: color pattern of dorsal body is uniform light brown without transversal dark bands, mostly in the caudal peduncle (Ref. 128488).
Inhabits rivers and flooded areas at altitudes 135 to 334 m asl, in areas with gentle slope and sandy or clay bottoms (Ref. 128488).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = No PD50 data [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): 2.4 ±0.2 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
