Author: Eigenmann, 1928
Remark: There are 8 specimens in Eigenmann's type series. Berra and Ruiz (1994) collected 12 juveniles (22-29 mm SL) that matched the diagnostic measurements specified by McDowall (1971b), but when subjected to principal components analysis, the juveniles resemble <i>Galaxias platei</i> (Berra and Barbour 1998). Further collecting is needed to dertermine if <i>G. globiceps</i> is still extant.
