Descrição breve
Chaves de identificação | Morfologia | Morfometria
Raios dorsais moles (total) : 9 - 10; Raios anais moles: 5; Vértebras: 28 - 29. This species is distinguished by the following characters: vertebrae 28-29; predorsal vertebrae 5; well-developed supraneural bones between the neural spines of the predorsal vertebrae 4; generally unbranched dorsal-fin rays 3; with a snout with a deep ethmoid furrow and well-developed fleshy appendage; a robust, deep-keeled, thick-necked urohyal bone (Ref. 131375).
All specimens of L. mbimbii have been collected in rapids along the Lulua River main channel over rocky substrates. These observations, combined with a dorsoventrally compressed body shape, suggest that L. mbimbii is adapted to rapid, rocky main-channel habitats. The waters where specimens have been collected are slightly acidic (pH 5.5–6.5), with low conductivity (2–5 μS/cm2) and low concentrations of dissolved solids (TDS 4–10 ppm). (Ref. 131375
