Comments: This species inhabits small to medium-sized clearwater terra firme streams (i.e., streams that are not inundated during the flood season).  Its type locality is characterized by a shallow first order clearwater stream, with sandy bottom and abundant aquatic vegetation. However, this species is often collected in sections of the stream that lack aquatic vegetation.  Four specimens of this species have unidentified vegetal matter and insect remains in their stomach.  Insect items that are recognizable include winged and wingless ants, and a small aquatic beetle (Ref. 116179).
