Comments: This species was found in blackwater coastal river and collected from the shallow rocky platforms and inside crevices at night.  In other sampling areas, this was observed hidden among pebbles on the shallow rapids and also on narrow stretches around 50 cm deep, just below a waterfall, with fast water current and rocky bottom.  Syntopic with <i>Hypostomus chrysostiktos</i> and <i>H. jaguar</i> (Ref. 95497).
