Etymology: Noturus: Greek, noton = back + Greek, oura = tail; refred to the position of the tail over the back (Ref. 45335); munitus: munitus meaning armed, referring to the excessive development of both anterior and posterior pectoral fin serrae (Ref. 10294).

Adults occur in rocky riffles and runs of medium to large rivers. Often found near vegetation (Ref. 5723, 10294). They feed on hydropsychid caddisfly larvae, ephemerellid mayfly nymphs, and blackfly and midge larvae (Ref. 10294).
