Etymology: Eudontomyzon: eu-, a Greek intensive (good, well or very); odontos (Gr.) tooth, referring to numerous radially arranged teeth of E. danfordi; myzon (Gr.), to suck (borrowed from Petromyzon), referring to their suctorial behavior (See ETYFish); vladykovi: Patronym not identified but clearly in honor of lamprey biologist Vadim D. Vladykov (1898-1986) (See ETYFish).
Eponymy: Dr Vadim Dimitrievitch Vladykov (1898–1986) was a Ukrainian-born Canadian zoologist. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
Issue

Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 0. With 61 - 67 trunk myomeres; trunk not mottled in live ammocoetes. The caudal fin is hyaline, of a spade-like shape.
Adults inhabit clear, well-oxygenated brooks in piedmont and mountain zones. They are non-parasitic and remain in freshwater. Ammocoetes live in detritus-rich sands or clay sediments. Ammocoete stage lasts 3.5-4.5 years. Ammocoetes feed on detritus and micro-organisms. They metamorphose in July - September and spawn in March - May. Males dig shallow nests in habitats with moderate currents (Ref. 59043). Males and females die after spawning.

Males dig shallow nests in habitats with moderate current. Spawning occurs when temperature reach 7-10°C at higher elevations (Ref. 59043).
