Comments: The type locality is a very small stream, about 1 m wide, up to 30 cm deep, with a bottom consisting of gravel, pebbles, sand and clay,  and besides trees and shrubs, with its margins composed of many specimens of <i>Hedychium sp. (Zingiberaceae).  This species was collected mostly in the bottom but also associated with vegetation at the margins.  Other fishes found in the same stream include <i>Astyanax fasciatus, <i>Rhamdia cf. quelen, <i>Rhamdiopsis sp., <i>Trichomycterus jequitinhonhae and <i>Trichomycterus sp.  Based on four specimens ranging from 4.10-4.75 cm SL, food items in the stomach were mainly fine particulate organic matter and periphyton (unicellular algae, diatoms, zooplankton and microcrustaceans) (Ref. 98819).
