Comments: This species was collected in a stream with  clear water, on bedrock and gravel, and with partially submerged riparian vegetation. Usually, individuals were always found in lotic environments associated with rocks, never in lentic (i.e., pools that formed on stretches of the creek).  Some areas of the gallery forest were partially preserved, and penetration of light was scarce.  Another   species sampled syntopically were <i>Astyanax scabripinnis</i> group and <i>Trichomycterus</i> spp.  Also observed were amphibian larvae, spiders, leeches, aquatic insects (Coleoptera; Hemiptera) and larval stages of insects (Diptera; Trichoptera; Megaloptera) (Ref. 100791).
