Descrição breve
Chaves de identificação | Morfologia | Morfometria
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 1; Raios dorsais moles (total) : 7; Espinhos anais: 0; Raios anais moles: 6. Distinguished from all species of the genus Neoplecostomus, except N. paranensis, due to the lack of, or reduction in size of, the adipose fin (vs. adipose fin moderate to well developed and always present). It can be separated from N. paranensis by the presence of conspicuous dark spots all over the body and the absence of some fins and dorsal bands (vs. lacking conspicuous dark spots and having five dark bands on dorsum evident). It further differs from N. paranensis by a greater head depth 55.6-63.9% in head length and greater mandibular width 12.5-17.8% in head length (vs. 44.4-55.4% and 8.4-12.4%, respectively) (Ref. 89726).
