Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 10 - 11; Anal soft rays: 7 - 8; Vertebrae: 39 - 40. Diagnosed from all species of Homatula by the following combination of characters: body naked with very variable color pattern, anteriorly with bars joined dorsally and posteriorly stripes that may enclose a series of pale ovoid blotches along midlateral line; caudal fin emarginate; 7 1/2-8 1/2 branched dorsal-fin rays; axillary pelvic lobe absent or rudimentary; both lips thin, nearly smooth (lower lip with 1-2 furrows on each side); no median notch on lower jaw (Ref. 93166).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Inhabits streams with clear water, slow current and rocky bottom (Ref. 93166).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5001   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00724 (0.00347 - 0.01512), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.8   ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
