Etymology: Trichomycterus: Greek, thrix = hair + Greek, mykter, -eros = nose (Ref. 45335); pauciradiatus: Derived from the Latin pauci (few) and radiatus (with rays), in reference to the reduced number of pelvic-fin rays.

Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 10 - 12; Raggi anali molli: 9; Vertebre: 36 - 38. Differs from all other members of the genus by possessing four pelvic-fin rays. Similar to Trichomycterus reinhardti by having a unique color pattern consisting of a broad dark brown stripe on the flank, dorsally bordered by a bright yellow zone without dark marks; but differs from Trichomycterus reinhardti by having a more slender body (body depth 12.6-15.1% SL) and a shorter preorbital length (25.7-39.3% HL) (Ref. 57604).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
