Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 0. With 58-65 trunk myomeres. The trunk is mottled in ammocoetes. The caudal fin is of spade-like shape and grey to black. The exolateral teeth are villiform, very small, weakly developed and frequently absent.
A non-parasitic species (Ref. 58030). Adults inhabit piedmont and montane zones in clear, well oxygenated brooks. Ammocoetes live in detritus-rich sands or clay sediments (Ref. 59043).
