Issue
There are 8 specimens in Eigenmann's type series. Berra and Ruiz (1994) collected 12 juveniles (22-29 mm SL) that matched the diagnostic measurements specified by McDowall (1971b), but when subjected to principal components analysis, the juveniles resemble Galaxias platei (Berra and Barbour 1998). Further collecting is needed to dertermine if G. globiceps is still extant.
