Issue
Lectotype designation, and type locality restriction in Mazzoni et al. (1994:5 and 7). 12S and 16S mitochondrial rRNA gene sequences used in a molecular phylogeny of Loricariidae by Montoya-Burgos et al. (1997: fig. 4; EMBL/GenBank Y08288, Y08336); mitochondrial D-loop sequences used in a molecular phylogeny of Hypostomus and related genera by Montoya-Burgos and Weber (in press, fig 2; EMBL/GenBank AJ318358). Biology: found in large and small waters, in lentic or rapid sections of the river, on rocky or sandy-rocky bottom. Young specimens inhabit the riparian vegetation along those habitats.

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01072 (0.00652 - 0.01760), b=2.91 (2.78 - 3.04), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Medio, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo de 1.4-4.4 años (Fec = 1,235).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (38 of 100).
