Ground color uniformly dark brown on lateral and dorsal surfaces of head and body, including barbels, lower lip, ventral surface of head anterior to gular apex and interopercular patch of odontodes. Ventral surface of branchiostegal membrane and small triangular area delimited anteriorly by gular apex, cream. Ventral surface of body from pectoral region to pelvic-fin insertion cream to light brown, becoming darker posteriorly. Trunk with thin and dark, mid-lateral stripe, extending posterior to opercular patch of odontodes to region below dorsal fin, fading posterior to this point. Some chromatophores clustered along ventrolateral row originating above pelvic-fin insertion to anterior portion of anal-fin base. Few chromatophores forming diffuse blotches, along dorsolateral row, anterior to dorsalfin insertion. Both dorsal and ventral surfaces of pectoral and pelvic fins, pigmented as body, except distal margin. First pectoral-fin ray, basal portion of remaining rays, and basal portion of interradial membrane densely pigmented. Distal tip of fin rays light. Anterior two thirds of rays and interradial membrane of pelvic fin darkly pigmented and distal margin light. Basal integument layer of dorsal and anal fins, including basal portion of rays and interradial membrane, pigmented as body, and distal margin hyaline. Basal portion of caudal fin darkly pigmented. Darkest semicircular halo preceding hyaline distal margin of caudal fin.

(adjective genitive masculine singular) is a patronym honoring the prominent Austrian zoologist Franz Steindachner (1834- 1919), in recognition of his dedicated life and significant work in documenting the fish biodiversity, especially that from South America. His profuse morphological descriptions mainly contributed to settle the current standard in ichthyological taxonomic works.
