Comments: This species is known only from the main channel of the low-nutrient blackwater Rio Tefé.  Apparently, the species is a benthic specalist.  It is captured in trawl nets where it occurs with <i>Rhabdolichops eastwardi</i>, <i>troscheli</i>, <i>caviceps</i>, <i>nigrimans</i>, and <i>electrogrammus</i>, except <i>lundbergi</i>.  Its diet consists of small planktonic crustacean primarily Cladocera and Copepoda, but also small Conchostraca and Ostracoda (Ref. 55969).
