Etymology: Phoxinellus: Greek, phoxinos = certain river fish; diminituve (Ref. 45335);  pseudalepidotus: The specific name, pseudalepidotus, refers to similarity with Phoxinellus alepidotus in general body shape and the absence of most scales besides the lateral line..

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Vertebrae: 38 - 40. A wide dark stripe along midline from eye to end of caudal peduncle within pigmented area on back and flanks; both dorsal and anal fins with 7 1/2 branched rays; snout blunt, markedly rounded; mouth subterminal; pharyngeal teeth 5-4; body scaleless besides lateral line scales and several scales above and below lateral line behind head; lateral line usually with 54-77 scales, terminating on caudal peduncle; postcleithrum usually absent (Ref. 52853).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.6250   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00832 (0.00383 - 0.01808), b=3.10 (2.93 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.9   ±0.1 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Generation time: 3.4 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
