Remark: Paugy & Schaefer (2007: Ref. 80290) put the validity of the species in doubt as being a morphotype of <i>Brycinus macrolepidotus</i> Valenciennes 1850.  This requires confirmation most likely through genetics studies (Paugy, pers,comm., 21 Mar. 2013).
Comments: Lives on the surface; feeds on insects and leaves (Ref. 51193).
