Comments: Adults inhabit large, deep, turbid river channels, usually in strong current over firm sand or gravel (Ref. 10294, 58490).  They feed on aquatic insect immatures, particularly caddisfly larvae, and small fish (Ref. 10294).  Threatened due to over harvesting and habitat loss (Ref. 58490).  No length type given but assumed to be in TL.
