This species is distinguished by the following characters: with an oblique dorsolateral longitudinal dark stripe on flanks, starting at first dorsolateral body plate and gradually descending towards middle portion of caudal-fin base, variably extending diffuse on ventral lobe of caudal fin; with a moderately-developed posterolateral portion of scapulocoracoid, not expanded mesially; dorsolateral stripe not extending anteriorly and meeting its counterpart on head (Ref. 138114). |
| Captured in small streams, tributaries of the rio Aripuanã upstream the Dardanelos-Andorinhas waterfalls complex, where the average width was estimated in 2.18 m ± 0.80, depth in 17.0 cm ± 7.6, water current in 3.83 m/s ± 7.4, dissolved oxygen in 1.18 mg/l ± 0.99, and temperature in 25.1 °C ± 2.0. In the rio Juruena basin, most specimens were collected in small and shallow isolated pools of intermittent streams, directly flowing into the rio Juruena, also occurring in larger/deeper streams, as the igarapé do Boi Preto. In these sites (rio Juruena basin), the streams have dense marginal vegetation, muddy or dark tea-colored water, and substrate composed by sand and/or clay, leaf litter, submerged logs and branches, and large rocks. In the rio Juruena basin, no additional Corydoradinae species was found in syntopy (Ref. 138114). |
