Short description
Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale): 2; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 7; Raggi anali molli: 5; Vertebre: 28. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following characters: body black, dark olive, or dark gray covered by conspicuous greenish-yellow small dots of similar size on head, trunk, and fins (vs. head with small spots, and large whitish-yellow spots or blotches posteriorly towards caudal fin, with dorsal, caudal, and anal fins covered by dark brown spots over rays); differs further from its congeners except H. tricornis by a narrow, barshaped connection strut between anterior process of compound pterotic and main body, leaving a large posterior gap (vs. connection strut shaped as a continuous sheet); differs from its congeners except H. xikrin by the pectoral-fin spine length 32.1-38.4% of SL (vs. 25.1-29.9% in tricornis, 24.5-30.9% in munduruku and 27.4-30.8% of SL in xavante); differs from xikrin by the transverse processes of first and second dorsal-fin pterygiophores sutured to each other (vs. no contact between the transverse processes of first and second pterygiophores); differs from xavante by having a narrow nasal bone plate (vs. nasal broad, sometimes slightly triangular); the nuchal plate exposed and covered by odontodes (vs. plate covered by thick skin and usually lacking odontodes); differs from tricornis by having five branched rays on the anal-fin (vs. four) (Ref. 125999).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01514 (0.00712 - 0.03216), b=2.97 (2.80 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (12 of 100).
