Short description
Κλείδες προσδιορισμού | Μορφολογία | Μορφομετρία
Μαλακές ραχιαίες ακτίνες (συνολικά) : 11 - 12; Μαλακές εδρικές ακτίνες: 21 - 25; Σπόνδυλοι: 31. Distinguished from all species of the genus, except Hemigrammus stictus (Durbin), by having a large single humeral spot situated from fifth-sixth to posterior margin of eighth-tenth lateral line scales. Differs from Hemigrammus stictus by having a humeral spot roughly rectangular, higher than wide, with a pronounced upper, anteriorly-oriented extension,
conferring an inverted-comma shape to the blotch (vs. humeral spot roughly rounded, not presenting an inverted-comma shape), and life color pattern presenting unpaired fins orange reddish (vs. caudal fin and caudal peduncle bright red in life, remaining fins translucent) (Ref. 81198).
Inhabits shallow marginal areas, with abundant aquatic macrophytes, both emergent and non-emergent (Ref. 81198). Gut contents of four specimens include insect larvae, winged insects and plant matter (Ref. 81198).
