Diagnosis:
Three of the characteristics described for
H. gobio
by
Armbruster (2004)
were also found in
H. papillatus
, and constitute synapomorphies for these two species: (1) 16–20 vertebrae from first normal neural spine (without bifid neural spine) behind dorsal fin up to hypural plate (a reversal, character 121–0); (2) distal margin of transverse process of Weberian apparatus pointed (character 132–1); and (3) posterior cleithral process reduced in size (character 157–1). In addition,
Pereira
et al
. (2000)
described two unique and unreversed synapomorphies for these two species: (1) anal fin of nuptial females much longer than in males; and (2) papillae in upper lip fused to form four or five transverse, elongate skin folds.
