Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie
Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 7; Rayons mous anaux: 5. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: striking development of its buccal tuft; a medial cluster of 25-29 simple, elongate papillae, supported by a fleshy protuberance from the anterior roof of the buccal cavity, internal to premaxillae (Ref. 133466).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: oval.
Facultative air-breathing in the genus; Gut examination of the species revealed its diet composed of detritus and a variety of nonbiting midge larvae (Chironomidae) in the subfamilies Chironominae (Cryptochironomus, Pelomus) and Tanypodinae (Coelotanypus) (Ref. 133466).
