وصف مختصر
مفاتيح التعريف | الوصف الخارجي | قياسات المظهر الخارجي
This species is distinguished from all its congeners by the following characters: with two rows of bones visible externally in caudal peduncle (vs. one row in duccis, orinoco, orthos, raptor, sima, schotti) (shared with calhamazon, rex); continuous membrane of tissue connecting the anal-fin base and caudal peduncle (vs. no membrane in duccis, orinoco, orthos, raptor, sima, schotti) (shared with calhamazon, rex); presence of a long body-cavity, 14-15 pre-caudal vertebrae (vs. 12-14 in calhamazon and 16 duccis, orinoco, rex, sima, schotti) (shared with orthos, raptor); possess a ridge or crown of thorny projections at border of parietal and supraoccipital and epioccipital ridges (vs. absent in calhamazon, duccis, orinoco, raptor, rex, schotti, sima); with a ridge on the posterior dorsal surface of the basihyal (vs. ridge absent in calhamazon) (shared with
duccis, orinoco, orthos, sima, schotti, rex, raptor) (Ref. 126780).
Collected by trawling the river bottom where individuals inhabit deep river channels (10-20 m) during the day and move to shallower water at night to feed near the river margin and over flooded beaches. Stomach content indicates that these fishes feed primarily on larger-bodied (non-planktonic) aquatic insect larvae (e.g. Odonata and Ephemeroptera) and some juvenile fishes (Ref. 126780).
