Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 1; Dorsal soft rays (total): 7. Abdomen almost completely naked, except for a single posterior complex of plates consisting of a well-developed preanal plate, usually bordered by 3 polygonal plates. These plates are connected to the thoracic plates by 1 or 2 small squarish platelets facing the base of the pelvic-fin spine. Tip of snout with a globular protuberance of naked skin. Pectoral fins reaching slightly beyond the origin of pelvic fins.

Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Inhabits small creeks and rivers with shallow, clear water, lurking among the bottom rocks and stones (Ref. 40941).

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=0.00437 (0.00197 - 0.00966), b=3.14 (2.97 - 3.31), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.6 ±0.2 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
