Notes
Identification to species level follows
Lundberg and Aguilera (2003)
and
Mol (2012)
based on the following characters: dermal bones of the skull coarsely sculpted with reticulated ridges surrounding rounded pits; supraoccipital process greatly expanded laterally; anterior nuchal plate enlarged; colour pattern with dark upper and white/yellow lower parts of flank; and caudal fin bright red/orange.
One individual was caught by baited hand-line in a deep pool of the main river. The live specimen is pictured in Fig. 30.
