| Quote | Excluded from Sternarchella by Lundberg et al. (2013), based on the presence of numerous small scales above the lateral line (13-14 versus 5-9 in Sternarchella). Based on visual inspection of the illustration and photograph of the specimen in the description (not available for physical examination), it most closely resembles a member of the clade Apteronotus sensu stricto (Albert, 2001). |
