Whitish grey to slightly pink, with light grey pigmentation scattered on dorsal surface. Body with five inconspicuous broad saddles of grey pigmentation; first on predorsal plates, second below dorsal fin, third between dorsal and adipose fins, fourth below adipose fin, and fifth on posterior caudal peduncle. Dorsal, adipose and caudal fins with one or two bands of grey spots. Pectoral, pelvic, and anal fins unpigmented. Opercle reddish, due to underlying gill filaments seen by transparency. Some specimens very lightly colored, with faint spots, almost imperceptible. When exposed to continuous illumination in laboratory, fish became slightly darker (

During our visit in the dry season of 2007, catfish were found throughout the small stream inside the cave Russão III and in the isolated pools of the cave Russão II. Fish were also observed in riffles with moderate water current, but they concentrated in slow moving, soft-bottomed pools with vegetal debris. Other fish were observed in the cave: trichomycterids,

When foraging on vegetal debris, rocks and crevices, they moved slowly, alone or in pairs, inspecting the substrate with the barbels and mouth. Occasionally, one individual followed the other, touching its rear with the mouth or barbels. No agonistic interactions were noticed. Only when disturbed by the observers they quickly moved away.</paragraph>

These fish are quite tolerant to each other, sharing hiding places (limestone blocks); we did not observe agonistic interactions or other dominance behaviors. They behaved more actively than in the cave habitat, moving not only on the bottom but frequently also in midwater, occasionally surfacing to gulp air, apparently for neutral buoyance maintenance, as observed by Gee & Graham (1987) for many callichthyids.

The principal components analysis of morphometric traits failed to discriminate clusters among the two cave populations and among cave and epigean specimens, indicating that morphology not related to eye reduction is highly homogeneous. However, some morphological differences were found between specimens of the epigean populations when compared to specimens from the caves (Table 1). These differences are mainly related to proportions of the head, as head depth, least interorbital distance, horizontal orbital diameter, snout length, and least internareal distance.All these features, however, are probably influenced by modifications of the head morphology caused by the reduction of the eye and orbit, making it difficult to interpret.

is in need of attention, and the differences found between the epigean and the cave populations may not be sufficient to delimit a separate species. These differences must be investigated based on a much larger sample and broader geographic representation and using both morphological and molecular evidence.
