Remark: The most recent reference to distribution is by Weitzman & Weitzman (1982), but due to a printer’s error Fig. 22.13 provides the correct distribution for <i>Nannostomus trifasciatus</i>, not Fig. 22.10. The most recent systematic description by Weitzman (1966). This species is commonly exported as an aquarium fish from Peru and Guyana.
Comments: Feeds on worms, crustaceans and insects (Ref. 7020).
