<paragraph pageNumber="7">Body elongate and spindle shaped, not very compressed laterally. In alcohol the body is almost square in transverse section, probably as a result of shrinkage. Head dorsal profile straight, but many individuals were preserved with head arched up. Ventral profile strongly concave from tip of snout to isthmus. Dorsal profile only slightly convex from head to base of caudal fin. Ventral profile slightly convex from dentary tip to posterior anal fin, and straight between anal and caudal fin bases. Profile of tip of snout vertical. Greatest body depth just anterior to dorsal fin origin.</paragraph>

Maxilla short, posterior end rounded and reaching vertical line downward from posterior nares, but not reaching anterior edge of orbit. Orbit ovalshaped, but not precisely oriented with horizontal axis of body; dorsal margins of eyes reaching, or sometimes elevated, above dorsal profile of head; eyes much longer than snout length; forming slight depression in interorbital space. Bony interorbital very narrow. Cheek height less than one-third of horizontal orbital diameter. Nares distinctly separated; posterior nostrils considerably closer to eye than to anterior nostrils; no dermal flaps on either nostril, but rims of each elevated above body to form raised rim. Supraorbital present and having a sensory canal.</paragraph>

Ventral portion of head immaculate; eye densely covered with black pigment on upper two thirds; ventral portion white. Posterior border of head between upper edge of opercle to posterior part of brain with narrow black bar that forms an “L,” with short stripe of black pigment on upper edge of opercle.

Anal-fin origin and base with concentration of black pigment, which forms a conspicuous dot. Pelvic fin with similar spot at origin. Dorsal fin with posterior rays thinly outlined in black posteriorly; adipose fin without pigment; caudal fin with spots of deep pigment at base of both upper and lower lobes (separate from similar dot at center of caudal fin base); central portion of caudal-fin rays thinly outlined, with melanophores that form a diffuse vertical bar when fin is closed.

All species examined so far feed on aquatic invertebrates, but obtain them from very different habitats. Our typical appreciation of what have been called “South American Darters” applies to many species living in the riffles of Andean mountain streams.
