Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Possesses the characters of the sandy group except that the snout tip with a globular protuberance of naked skin, not reaching anteriormost pore of infraorbital ramus of sensory canal, and variably with a dorsal-fin spinelet. Can be diagnosed from all other congeners by its color pattern consisting of numerous dark and vermiculated spots on a light brown background. Differs from the species in the sandy group by the globular protuberance at snout tip (except for Rineloricaria misionera); and from Rineloricaria misionera by having fully plated abdomen and usually with four or five series of plates between the lateral abdominal plates (Ref. 75788).

Inhabits slow to fast flowing watercourses, with clear to brown water and with sandy and/or muddy bottom (Ref. 75788).
